Praise for Apparently

EDITORIAL REVIEWS 

“Rich in raw emotions, the book captures the highs and lows of parenting well.” 

“…conversational, sympathetic, and inquisitive throughout.” 

“An encouraging memoir–cum–parenting guide, Apparently acknowledges and celebrates the unpredictability of being a parent.”

~Foreword Reviews

“The blend of emotional support and practical advice in This is What Parenting Feels Like is in stark contrast to parenting guides that tend to be dry.” 

“Libraries and new parents may have other childrearing guides on hand—but none will hold the perfect blend of personal experience and childrearing tools profiled in This is What Parenting Feels Like.”  

~Midwest Book Review

“Apparently is a warm hug of a book for all stages of parenting — comfort for the parents of babies who are having to prop their own eyes open with toothpicks, solace for those who are dealing with the random chaos of childhood, reassurance for those who are in the challenging years of teendom, and fond memories for parents of adult children who can’t believe they survived the ordeal but somehow wish they could live through it again.”

~Daphne Gray-Grant / The Publication Coach 

“Sue takes us into her home and into her heart. She reveals her hopes, her dreams, her frustrations, her challenges and her joys and she allows us to be part of them all.”

“Her fresh sense of humour along with her deep seated belief in individual differences, trust, respect, compassion and love permeates the book.  Apparently: This is What Parenting Feels Like … is a book that every parent or grandparent should read no matter what stage your child is at.”

~Sue Fisher / Early Childhood Educator for 50 year / Goodreads Reviewer

READER REVIEWS

“It’s not your own story but it’s a story that will spark memories.”

~Betty G., Goodreads reviewer

“I would have found Sue’s book a support unit whilst in the thick of child-rearing. It would have assured me that what I was experiencing was ‘normal’ and reassured me to worry less and enjoy more. I would have had this book on my bedside table (for 25-odd years!?) beside a yellow highlighter; it would have been my conscience and counsellor.”

~Linda E., Goodreads reviewer 

 “ … a wonderfully talented story teller. Whether you are a parent, empty nester, grandparent, pet parent, or doting aunt or uncle, you will see yourself staring back from a vivid and relatable memory of time spent with your own kids.”

~Pehlaj, Goodreads reviewer
