One of the true blessings of my life has been not only knowing
Lorette, but also getting to share parts of her life with her. Now
with "The Astronaut's Wife", anyone can share this fascinating
life, too. Lorette is able to take the insanity, intensity &
impact of many situations and transform the experience on to the
page. She does this with both the stark reality and also the humour
needed to stay sane throughout. Having shared many of the people,
places & situations that she references, I can tell you that
she nails it on an emotional level. It is very real; the pain, and
gravity of life.
With this collection, all can share these elements, and also learn
the lessons that come from them. That is perhaps the greatest gift
of "The Astronaut's Wife." We can learn to deal with ANYTHING and
find laughter in it too. This work, like the author's life, is a
roller coaster ride well worth taking. Stirring, jarring, and rich
with many emotions.
