What a nice surprise to find this lovely review this morning! Debby, thanks again, and I’m so glad you enjoyed my poetry collection and found many of the poems resonating. For those of you who haven’t met Debby, she has written several books that will make you smile, laugh out loud, and grab a tissue. So I encourage you to peruse around her cozy and beautiful site. In her most recent book, Debby writes about her journey through loss. I have read many of her books and loved them, and I will start this beautiful and emotional book soon.
The beginning of Debby’s 5 Star Review for Ever So Gently:
Lauren writes beautiful and heartfelt poetry. In this book she divides the book up into sections of various types of poetry – The Wisdom of Nature, – The Noise, The Laughter, The Chaos, The Loved Ones, and, – Lost in Thought. A lovely mix of story poems from nature to reflections on moment’s in life – reminiscing of poignant and tender moments, firsts, becoming a mom, reflections on life, losses, and her love for her family and pets. The imagery Scott portrays from her words are moving and many so relevant to today’s world…

Beautiful review, dogs are such incredible souls, we lost our senior boy in the spring of 2024 and although, right before we lost him and he led us to our current dog, I miss him deeply! They are so unique. Beautiful tribute to your furry friend!
I’m sorry about your dog’s passing, Pamela. It’s so hard. But thank you for your kind words. 🌷
A beautiful heartfelt review, Lauren! I loved it you deserve it! ❤
Thanks for your lovely words and support, Carol Anne! 🩷🩷
