Sheila,
I received an ARC of, The Other Side of Yet, by Michelle D。 Hord。 This was a good book on a sensitive topic。 Losing her daughter to murder, the grief and mental anguish that follows。 Learning how to live again, in a new reality。
Rebecca,
At times repetitive and long winded but overall an excellent book。 She describes her grief so well it is hard not to get choked up。 This wonderful resilient and faithful woman suffered a tragic loss and came through the other side。 Her thoughts, faith and wisdom are inspiring。

Michelle's memoir sheds light on what it looks like to move forward after an inconceivable tragedy and ultimately how leaning on God and her God given support system helped her push through and find the light in the darkness。 I knew that some parts of this would be tough to read through。 She really lays her emotions bare on these pages。 But I'm glad I read her story and grateful that she had the courage to write it down。 And it's very eloquently written。Just a side note, Michelle gives a lot of Michelle's memoir sheds light on what it looks like to move forward after an inconceivable tragedy and ultimately how leaning on God and her God given support system helped her push through and find the light in the darkness。 I knew that some parts of this would be tough to read through。 She really lays her emotions bare on these pages。 But I'm glad I read her story and grateful that she had the courage to write it down。 And it's very eloquently written。Just a side note, Michelle gives a lot of credit to God for helping her through her situation。 However, she also mentions that for people who don't believe in a Higher Power, looking to the universe, etc。 can help in the same way。 I don't agree with this, as I feel that it discredits God。 Why look to God if the universe will suffice? Just something I thought about while reading this。But I'll reiterate that this is a very well written and inspiring testimony! 。。。more

Teri,
I loved the inspiration。
Kay,
The Other Side of Yet is a rare beauty。 Within its pages, media executive Michelle D。 Hord chronicles her journey to the other side of grief after her ex-husband murdered her seven-year-old daughter, Gabrielle。 Hord — or as I know her, Auntie Michelle — pours her very soul into this memoir, honoring the legacy of Gabrielle and testifying to the edifying power of defiant faith。 The Other Side of Yet is the second memoir I’ve read about grief by a journalist — the first being The Year of Magical T The Other Side of Yet is a rare beauty。 Within its pages, media executive Michelle D。 Hord chronicles her journey to the other side of grief after her ex-husband murdered her seven-year-old daughter, Gabrielle。 Hord — or as I know her, Auntie Michelle — pours her very soul into this memoir, honoring the legacy of Gabrielle and testifying to the edifying power of defiant faith。 The Other Side of Yet is the second memoir I’ve read about grief by a journalist — the first being The Year of Magical Thinking (2005) by Joan Didion。 In both novels, these women, who built their livelihoods in the public eye, imbue their prose with naked vulnerability。 For me, there’s something inspiring about their willingness to put words to one of the most inexplicable and private emotions: grief。What sets Hord’s story apart from (and above) other stories though is her distinct, assured voice。 She writes from her position as a journalist, a mother, a Black woman, a person of faith — a multi-faceted human being。 Her defiant voice is anchored in a “defiant faith” that will resonant with every reader regardless of their spiritual journey。 This memoir talks about so much more than grief。 As much as I treasured Hord’s insights on resilience and trauma, I equally appreciated her reflections on Black woman/motherhood and the “strong, superhuman Black woman” stereotype。 She has a rare gift for distilling complex emotions into gorgeous, lyrical prose。 I just want to place her book into the outstretched hands of every Black woman on the planet。 This, this is soul food。Full Review: https://medium。com/barrett-book-revie。。。 。。。more
