Believe! Is so much more than a great read. It is as much of a spiritual journey for the reader as it was for its author Lisa Nicks-Balthasar.
When Lisa’s life was marked by the untimely death of her spouse and soulmate Keith, she experienced an intense feeling of grief, loss, betrayal and loneliness. This weaving of despair triggered what would become a quest of self-discovery and a new awakening. Shedding your skin, healing old wounds and scars and learning, growing and believing in the possibilities and the chance of finding love again.
Lisa’s strength and determination is paramount and shines through each page of this book. Her offering of hope and the power of believing is emotional, spiritual and life affirming.
This book is a treasure. It is a gift from the heart that nourished my soul, resonated and touched me.
My thanks to NetGalley, Black Rose Writing and Lisa for an ARC in exchange for an honest book review.
Highly Recommended.

Lisa was living the all-American dream. Married to Keith, her high school sweetheart, born on the same day, soulmates at birth. But after Keith’s untimely death plunges the family into despair, a devastating betrayal sends Lisa spiralling into grief and depression.
This is a truly heartwarming story that is full of emotion and definitely not a light read. The author has been very kind to share her thoughts and feelings on such an emotional time and her writing style is second to none. Thank you for sharing this.
The book cover is eye-catching and appealing and would spark my interest if in a bookshop. Thank you very much to the author, publisher and Netgalley for this ARC.
