FIRST REVIEWS FOR MY BOOK:
FROM GOODREADS:
"What a beautiful, raw, real story of friendship. I loved the story from start to finish, the flashing back to the past and the memories of a long friendship." --- Sara, Goodreads

FROM KOBO:
One of the best memoirs I’ve read.
Biography of A Friendship by Marie-Claude Arnott is a poignant look at friendship [...] Marie-Claude Arnott writes with love and honesty [...] Well-written and thought-provoking, this is one of the best memoirs I’ve read. --- by Paula W. on March 14, 2024

Great Read!
[...] The most emotional books that I have read. My mother died from bone cancer, and it brought up a lot of buried feelings. I love how the author told their story while giving us information and still telling us a tale of friendship. It was a very beautiful and emotional read. I will carry this book around inside me for a long time to come. --- by Sherri B. on March 15, 2024

Thank you reviewers!

The story we tell ourselves and others gives us a sense of identity. It helps us organize our life in such a way that it gives us meaning and direction. Although not every memoir reflects a mythic theme, most memoir writers unconsciously reveal mythic themes in their desire to find meaning in their....
