THIS WAS A GREAT BOOK.......2007-04-25
1st off i would like to say that this was a great book and I enjoyed it alot. I picked this book up and couldnt put it down. At first i found this book at my school laying on the table and thought by the looks of the cover that it would be one of those boring drama books like every other book in a libary, I piscked the book up and read a couple pages, and i was very intrstead in the plot of the story.
The plot of the story is theres a 15 year old girl named casey who lives with a mother who's life is messed up and she's hanging out with these drug dealers, so throught the story casy is skipping school and is deppressed and doesnt know what to do with her life. So casy decides to get back into school and try to straightend out her life. Over the course of the book casey improves her life and starts carring about her future. But she rus into many problomes with school and other people.
I would reccomend this book to anyone who likes to read about present day people and problomes. This book deals with alot of drug problomes and alot of deppression. I would not reccomend this book to anyone who does not like to read or hear about drugs. Or people with alot of problomes. I enjoyed this book alot
read first prior to children reading.......2006-11-24
My daughter read this book while in fifth grade- The content matter is not appropriate for a young middle school child. Though unfortunately it may be reality for some children, it is not what you want your child to ever experience nor think that it is a "normal life." Drugs and violence (particularly bad relationships and physical abuse) should not be tolerated or accepted. This book should be read with a parent or counselor to explain this to children. The actual reading level is low, and the content is not appropriate for young readers.
WHAT I THINK???????.......2006-02-04
Hi my name is mayra. I'm fifteen yrs. old. I go to Curie high school in Chicago,ill.
Reading this boook was fun b/c it relates to true life. Alot of girls are going throgh the same stuff as Cindy. Their moms are never with them b/c they are always with their boyfriends.
Probably they also have a man that don't treat them right and hits them. Or probably he is related to drugs. This book has to do with all this kind of stuff.If you have this type of problems you already know what to do, so go for it!!! Thank you.

Someone To Love Me
By Anne Schraff
[...]
"What's that?'' her mother asked, pointing to the bruise on her wrist.... Cindy
moved her arm as she spoke, so her mother would not stare at the bruise. There was no way she was going to tell her mother what Bobby had did''.
Someone To Love Me by Anne Schraff, is a stunning realistic fiction novel about a girl, Cindy Gibson, who is going through a lot of trouble. When she arrives at Bluford for her freshman year, she had trouble back at home with her absent mother, her mother's boyfriend who is always telling her she is ugly, and suspects that he is selling drugs in their home and Cindy tries to tell her mother, she never believes her, and Cindy is always alone in the apartment, whenever her and Raffie goes out and she is always upset. All that changes when she meets Bobby Wallace, an older, handsome, young man who starts behaving strangely towards Cindy.
The reason why teenage girls should read this book , if a older boyfriend is hitting you and getting you into a world of drugs, you really need to listen to your friends or the police. Most teenage girls have mothers who don't never have time for their child(ren) when dating someone, you really need to tell them how you feel. Between me and Cindy, I feel her struggles with her mother I learned from this book to tell the people who hurt me how I feel.
Muy Bien!!.......2004-04-28
This book is great for the girls who think that every boy likes you for who you really are. After you read this book, you'll think differently. Cindy thinks this boy named Bobby Wallace really liked her, but he only wanted to use her. Cindy ends up being lead to places where she doesn't want to go. Bobby treats her like gum on the bottom of someone's shoe, and Cindy hides it from her family. This story I had to read atlease 3 times because it was that great. I would request this book to any one who loves to read. "Someone To Love Me" is a story that can realate to real, life teenage problems.

Book Description
Nine years ago, Michelle Grant was at rock bottom--until a chance meeting with a stranger gave her hope...and her first delicious taste of passion. Now a successful businesswoman, Michelle still remembers the man she knew only as B.J.. And when fate brings them together again, the feelings she had for him come rushing back. But as soon as Brad Jamison speaks, Michelle realizes that the caring man she once knew is now a hardened businessman without warmth or tenderness, and he doesn't remember her...
Brad has heard the rumors that Michelle's success may be die more to her looks than her brain--but he doesn't believe them. He knows how hard it can be for a black woman to get ahead in business. Indeed, when Brad finally meets Michelle, her head for business impressed him--while her almond skin and smooth curves send his mind reeling. She seems so sweet...even familiar. But if he discovers the shared past that only she remembers, will it tear them apart forever?

Someone to Love Me.......2007-03-09
Be adivsed that I have not read this book as yet but I give it 5 stars because Francis Ray is a favorite author of mine and can do no wrong.
I enjoy all of her books that I have & am looking for "Until There Was You". I would say, without having read the book, that, it is a GREAT READ!
"I LOVED THIS BOOK!!!!!".......2006-05-05
This book was excellent. Ms Ray did a wonderful job with this one. All the characters were fun and interesting, especially Brad. One minute he's a nice guy and the next, he's ready to rip someone's head off. The way he and Michelle interact with each other is special, and when she slapped the "$%@*" out of him....priceless!! Some of the dialogue between the two was hilarious. Alex, his sister Cassie, Michelle's brother Nick, Stan and Clint need stories of their own...that would be a hoot as well. I also enjoyed the short story at the end of the book. You're simply FAB Ms. Ray.
Someone to Love Me.......2005-09-26
An interesting book for those who love romance stories, with happy endings. This book will keep you on a see-saw. Just as you begin to think all is well, there is a new twist. Sometimes the twists are just plain frustrating.
a pleasant read.......2005-04-11
It was a good book, I'll give it that. Strong characterization helped me get close to Michelle, albeit not quite to Brad, and that's generally how the book went. The Michelle side was quite developed and fulfilling, but with Brad, I felt something was lacking and his resolution wasn't quite as satisfying.
I was looking for this book to provide an African-American romance, and to be honest, I really didn't get the feeling that these characters were anything but White, or mixed, beyond the occassion mention of "black" and the picture on the front. That aside, the book delivered what it needed.
Be wary though, the novel ends on page 266, but the book continues for almost a hundred pages. So don't hold back, expecting to get in it when the pages themselves dwindle down or else you'll be as surprized as I was when the story ended in spite of the sizeable chunk of pages that remained.
VERY GOOD BOOK WORTH READING MORE THAN ONCE.......2005-02-17
I READ THIS BOOK AND HONESTLY CAN SAY IT WAS DONE IN A DAY. I LOVE THE WAY MICHELE DIDN'T LET OTHERS KEEP HER DOWN. MICHAELLE HAD A LOT OF PEOPLE HATING ON HER BUT SHE KEPT GOING ON. I LOVE THE WAY THE MALE LEADS WERE HUMAN EVEN MICHELLE BROTHE. I CRIED LIKE A BABY. SO IF ANYONES HASN'T READ THIS BOOK YOUR REALLY SLEEPING. MS RAY DID A GOOD JOB. LOVE THAT IS LOST CAN BE FOUND AGAIN.

Control issues are a major factor in the nearly 50 percent of American marriages that end in divorce. Women with low self-esteem are most likely to attract (or seek) a dominating partner. Hungry for acceptance, they allow themselves to be manipulated. This book offers exercises to uncover mistaken beliefs, identify unacceptable compromises, and regain self-worth, as well as step-by-step tools to end relationships that can't be saved.

Talk To Me Like I'm Someone You Love.......2000-07-07
This little book will change the way you talk with those you love by providing easily grasped changes in the words you choose to express yourself. The author is direct and insightful. This is a great gift book for couples and parents.
Book Description
More often than not, women tend to lose themselves in relationships, believing they have found "The One"-- the discovery that signifies the end of loneliness. The assurance of happily every after. If this relationship is lost, all seems lost. But what happens when you meet "The One" and he turns out to be just
someone? What do you do when the love of your life becomes the heartbreak of your life?
JoAnna Harris understands. After a broken engagement, she was forced to confront the inevitable void after the break-up and truly answer the question --
Who am I without this relationship? While wading through intense heartbreak, JoAnna says, "I discovered that the end of my relationship was not the end of me. That in Christ, I am complete and whole."
Using her own story of heartbreak and healing, JoAnna will make you laugh and encourage you in your own journey to healing and discovery.

Integral part of my healing.......2007-06-25
I read this book when I went through the most painful breakup of my life. Since then, I have lent it to various girlfriends who have experienced the same situation. Time and time again I hear how wonderful the book is. How it said what their hearts wanted to say. How it was just nice to know someone else has gone through it and made it out ok. Wonderful book.
Remarkable and Helpful. Even if you aren't Christian........2007-03-16
I did not know this book was Christian. If I had, I wouldn't have bought it. This book turned out to be amazing despite this. 80% of the book has nothing to do with Christians or God.
The book is really an account of the way this incredibly nice woman, closing in on 30, accounts some of her truly awful relationships with men-especially a recently destroyed engagement where the guy brutally dumped her by ignoring her after she quit her job and her entire life and moved to be with him-- and subsequent depressions after the relationships implode. The level of candor, and way she expresses herself, is very striking somehow, and very relatable. Every woman out there can sympathize with the insecurities that she very bluntly describes, and how men can be both cowardly and misleading.
What is unique to me about this book is that so many writers who write about men are funny, and sarcastic, and cynical, and this writer isn't. She is genuinely astonished when these men break her heart, ignore her, tell her she isn't pretty enough to be their wife, etc. (She tries to be funny in places, but overall, it isn't a "funny" book.)So I think this is a book that lets you really empathize with the pain of a bad relationship. Ultimately, this woman comes to term with self-acceptance, in her case through Jesus. But, I think you can come to the non-Christian interpretation of it, which is that you have to accept yourself and that if these men are too commitment phobic/cruel/cowardly/not ready, etc. then it's still their loss and you have to move forward with your life and accept yourself for who you are.
I would be curious to see this writer struggle with the issue of why these very Christian men in her life are such louses, and the fact that going to Church and being involved in Christian activities obviously doesn't make you a good person.
"Nine times a bridesmaid".......2006-06-04
I stumbled across "You Didn't Complete Me" while digging through the bargain bin of a Christian bookstore. The subtitle "When 'the one' turns out to be 'just someone'" caught my eye, and I skimmed through it. The theme of the book fit my current ex-relational situation, so it felt heaven-sent. Despite the fact that twentysomething women appear to be Ms. Harris' target audience, I found her story intriguing. I'm glad I gave it a shot.
JoAnna Harris writes in a quirky but honest fashion about getting her heart broken. She was jilted twice by two different men after long-term relationships. Ross dumped her right before their wedding (a few days after she had moved to Boston to be with him), and previously Jack blew her off after a couple years of a one-sided love affair. A long period of darkness followed each of these endings. Writing, community, Christ, and French fries (not necessarily in that order) helped her deal with these twin blows.
Ms. Harris promises in the Author's Note to "not offer empty advice or any lame how-to's" on getting over a significant other. She mostly adheres to that vow in a humorous, insightful, and vulnerable way. I was impressed with her openness, including admission of desperate actions like calling Jack's work phone late at night just to hear his voice on the answering machine. I also liked getting a woman's perspective on romantic relationships, such as her expectations that a solid Christian man would take the lead in limiting the physical stuff. In addition, Ms. Harris discusses how unrealistic expectations sabotage relationships. There's even some exploration of the methods we use to meet someone special. I could relate to her skepticism about a certain unnamed online matchmaking website (cough*eHarmony*cough). Overall, I appreciated the realistic Biblically based wisdom on dealing relational issues sprinkled throughout "You Didn't Complete Me." And even a Yankee male like me could identify (or at least sympathize) with her emotional responses to rejection.
However, I did have a couple of minor issues. First, it was a bit much to read about how absolutely perfect her girlfriends are. I'm glad she has some solid comrades, since that fits with her advocation of community for bearing one's burdens. But c'mon - everybody's screwed up some way, and it bugs me to see folks portrayed as so great that Christ could've outsourced His crucifixion to them. That bit of sugarcoating detracted from the book's honesty. Also, her stream-of-consciousness writing style and girly-girl tangents took some getting used to. Too much personality can be, well, too much. Finally, I wish she had spent a chapter on the dating vs. courting controversy within the church - her insights on that topic would have been welcome.
Despite her relational tribulations, it appears that Ms. Harris' difficult romantic saga had a happy ending. According to her self-named website, she got married on July 4th (an ironic step to take on Independence Day). After what she's been through, I'm glad she finally made it to the alter, and I wish her the best. A sequel about her marriage would be interesting, so I hope that's in the works.
I consider "You Didn't Complete Me" to be part of my "dealing with getting dumped" Christian trilogy. The two other helpful books are: "Loves Me, Loves Me Not," by Laura Smit (a more scholarly treatment of unrequited love), and "Let's Just Be Friends," by H. Norman Wright (a solid guide to handling rejection).
Written like an intimate conversation between friends.......2005-08-04
"Chick Lit" is a term we often use to describe breezy, female-centric fiction. While reading JoAnna Harris's book, YOU DIDN'T COMPLETE ME: When "The One" Turns Out To Be Just Someone, the idea occurred to me that maybe we should start expanding the term to include nonfiction. If ever a book screamed "Chick Lit" it's YOU DIDN'T COMPLETE ME.
JoAnna's missive to the lovelorn masses was born out of her own heartache. Two major breakups set the stage: Jack, college best friend, said he wanted to grow old with her but couldn't marry her because she wasn't pretty enough; Ross, fiancée, bailed out two months before their wedding and less than one week after she had left her life in Nashville to be with him in Boston. Ouch. Double ouch.
Of the day Ross calls it quits, she writes: "That night when he leaves he hugs me. It feels like hugging a stranger or an acquaintance that sorta creeps you out. Like dancing with the weird guy at the wedding because it's the wedding party dance and he's your wedding party counterpart. His arms are wrapped tightly around you and you can't escape without making a scene so you do your best to throw your head back, hoping to appear as if you're laughing but really you're trying to flee gracefully. I want to hug him and feel good. To feel like I once did. To feel safe and loved and together. Instead it feels wooden. Artificial. And I know it's over."
Joanna pairs such in-the-moment, heart-on-your-sleeve candor with humor and spot-on observations about navigating our own and society's expectations about love.
"When I was engaged it made me feel like a celebrity. Made me exciting to strangers. Made people sit up and take notice. Hey everybody, look at me! Somebody loves me! A boy thinks I'm pretty! I remember buying stationary at a card shop and the salesclerk oohing and aahing over my engagement ring and wanting to know all about my dress and the flowers and the cake and ... oh yeah, the guy. If I went in today, she would tell me my total and hand me a receipt."
JoAnna chronicles her romantic misadventures with a "just between us girls" sensibility, and just like one of your girlfriends, she can ramble a bit. And be inconsistent. And tell you things that are kinda embarrassing in the light of day. But you listen anyway because she's your friend, and if you're honest, she reminds you a bit of yourself, warts and all.
When all is said and done, JoAnna finds a wholeness in Christ that isn't cliché or trite, but is sufficient. If you've been unlucky in love, have a friend going through a painful breakup, or you just want to have a good gabfest (well, she's gabbing) about love, then I definitely recommend YOU DIDN'T COMPLETE ME.

Hits close to home!.......2005-07-05
This is a fabulous book, with a very real and understandable message. Just finished reading it, after a bad breakup. And I WILL read it again. A must for anyone who struggles to understand her identity in Christ and feeling loveable after severe heart trauma.

Excellent Bible story for even young preschoolers.......2007-03-01
Of all the books in this series this is perhaps the very best for very young children, mine getting interesting in it between 10 months and year old - just watch them as you read - these are paper pages that tear easily when little fingers grab!
The illustration are cute and easy for children to relate to. The story lines simple and the message sweet and reassuring.

Book Description
A remarkable account of a match made in HeavenIn the movie Ghost, the passionate moment when Patrick Swayze is able to reach out to Demi Moore from the other side touched people's hearts in a way that few movies do. Does life continue after death? Can a departed loved one change the course of our lives? Send Me Someone shows us that the answer is "yes." In this first-person memoir, Diana von Welanetz Wentworth tells the story of a powerful love affair and how it came to encompass dimensions beyond what she considered possible. From the beginning, Diana Webb and Paul von Welanetz were a storybook couple. In the enchantment of their first days together, the two became absorbed by a chemistry that endured through twenty-five years of marriage. Diana and Paul shared everything, personally and professionally. Their passion for cooking, entertaining, and bringing people together led them to successful careers as award-winning cookbook authors, hosts of a television show, and later as founding directors of The Inside Edge, a prominent human potential organization. Regarded by friends as a perfect match, they were even named "One of L.A.'s Most Romantic Couples" by Los Angeles magazine in 1986.But one day, in 1988, everything changed. They discovered that their adventure together was to be cut short when Paul was diagnosed with terminal cancer. Diana was devastated. In rapidly declining health, he told her, "I don't want you to be alone." She replied impulsively, "Then send me someone!" Paul responded, "I will."That promise, and its aftermath, is the extraordinary story at the heart of Send Me Someone. Diana relates how, after Paul's death, she became aware that he was still "present" in her life and actively concerned with her well-being. Within months, fate introduced her to a new man-Ted Wentworth, a prominent attorney who had lost his wife to cancer. Ted seemed so unlike the dreamy, romantic Paul. He was realistic, funny, mischievous, even a little confrontational. But Diana soon began to appreciate Ted's depth and wisdom, along with his edgy sense of the ridiculous. Despite their obvious differences, the two fell in love.Ted, as it turned out, has a well-developed intuitive sense, and as their relationship developed, he revealed something that astonished Diana: he felt a startling inner connection to Paul von Welanetz! In fact, a series of remarkable occurrences soon convinced them both that Ted was indeed the "someone" Paul promised to send. Send Me Someone is both a romantic love story and a credible account of communication with someone from "the other side." As such, it occupies a unique niche while straddling two enormously popular genres. This inspiring book offers hope and reassurance that death is not the end. It is an engaging, real-life tale that love, once known, never really dies. Send Me Someone is, without a doubt, the most compelling love story of the year.

Timely inspiration.......2001-12-16
The author tells an inspiring story of the worlds within and beyond the one we inhabit every day. She bears witness to experiences many of us have had but seldom speak of when a loved one has crossed over: the survival of the soul and the transmission of love in every-expanding ways across the thin membrane separating human consciousness from its Source. The fate-full journey which interweaves the lives of three lovers is beautifully narrated and, most especially, in these troubled times, speaks to the "unstoppable designs of destiny" unique to each of us.
I needed this!.......2001-10-11
A week after my 32-year-old husband died, I walked into a bookstore and was immediately drawn to this book on display. I knew exactly what the book was about the second I looked at the cover. Although I think some of it is really "out there," Diana's story helped me to believe that my husband's spirit could exist and that he wants me to be happy, and even find love again. I have since felt my husband's presence (although not as straightfoward as Diana's experiences!) and that has brought me joy; I'm not sure I would have been as open to the experience if I hadn't first read this book. Also, I have begun a romantic relationship, and while I carry some guilt about it, it is reassuring to know about Diana's story, and how she believes her husband led her to Ted and a second chance at love. (Perhaps someday I'll write my story about all the strange and wonderful coincidences that have occurred!) Regardless of one's particular situation or beliefs, I think this is a beautiful story.
Made a believer out of me!!.......2001-08-28
Even after reading this beautiful and gripping story, I can't imagine what I would do if my husband passed away. Diana is truly a strong and loving person, and her story gives me hope that life and love goes on!
THE PROOF OF ENDURING LIFE IS THE BEHOLDER.......2001-06-24
This is one of 5 best books I have ever read in my life and I am 72 yrs. old. There is a wealth of books that prove (to me) that life is everlasting and what you make of life in this world is up to you..period.
This books covers the entire spectrum of life. Yearning for love and a better life, searching for occupations, success, loss ..redemption..a brand new life..friendship and all of the emotions and happenings of a life. The author has picked the right words that fit into an experience of reading perfection. She relates experiences that could be unbelievable to some, but to me are as true and life uplifting that I must sing a song of thanksgiving that I discovered this book.
If you want to read a wonderful love story and get proof of the power of love, read Send Me Someone.
A "You'll Love This!" Read.......2001-05-26
I climbed into bed one night intending to read several chapters and lights out at a reasonable time. I read all night long(!) and finished it about 4:00 a.m. I can remember being this engrossed only twice before -- Gone with the Wind and The Poisonwood Bible -- nosleep/all night sojourns. I laughed, cried (sobbed), and was riveted the entire night. This book may be labeled as a memoir, but it also shares suspense, poignancy, recognition, ah hah's; faith, joy, humor, and, most of all, love with the reader. I know that anyone and everyone who reads this splendid work will be similarly affected.
I see/know so many women who need to hear this story in order to be able to connect reality with what is mistakenly described as the fairy tale. This is an ongoing conversation for me with the women who claim there are no good men out there. I so agree with the author that good men are all over if we choose to see/hear them.
This book has music for me. The romantic strains of All Night Long comes up frequently, as does the shark music from Jaws with the author's father, and Ted's part, of course, evokes a lilting Baby Elephant Walk. Why doesn't this computer have musical notes so that I can illustrate my thoughts!?!?!
I had to sit down and IMMEDIATELY share how much I loved this writing (style, content, energy, warmth/ connection, and use of time (reminds me of Faulkner's Sound and the Fury). I know it will sell millions of copies and touch multiple millions of lives.
