"This book is the perfect gift for anyone going through a loss or a life change. The stories are about people that you know (or would like to), and the author has a beautiful way of reminding us to treasure small things and stop getting hung up on things that seem big, but really aren't. This is one of the books that I will turn to when I need a pick-me-up or a thought for the day. I highly recommend it! "
"This book was given to me by a woman with whom I have only recently become friends, so I wasn't sure what to expect. I must say that the author of this book has an incredible gift to offer! One moment I was entranced by the smorgasbord of food for thought that Forrest's keen perspective has to offer (throughout the entire book)... and the next moment I was laughing uproariously - literally - at her metaphoric and "sharp as a tack" descriptions. "A View From My Window" offers reflection, introspection and wonderful memories of days gone by. I highly recommend it!" FOUR STARS
