"What a beautiful book for such a sad story - but a warm feeling of Sheila's tremendous courage and survival spirit radiates from each page! And what a difference parents, friends and good hospitals and rehabilitation center can make ..." Ulrich Hewer
"The book, beautiful and well-edited, depicts a journey of courage, resilience and good-heartedness ... It has also given me a heartening view of family support, including yours, without which Sheila's astounding progress wouldn't have been possible!" Michael Lesparre, Health Care Editor and Writer
"What a wonderful tribute to a courageous young woman! ... Sheila's drawing and poem in the beginning of the book showing the bifurcation of who she is, is very powerful!" Vivian Otteman, Former US Senate Staff
"In this book, Sheila Advento, with the help of Cynthia Angeles, tells how a sudden medical catastrophe forced her to become a quadruple amputee in order to carry on living. She has not only lived, but regained control of her life. The book is engagingly written and copiously illustrated, and any reader will find it both heart-wrenching and inspiring." Graham Hacche, Author
"How do you define courage? By the endurance in tolerating pain? Or by the persistence in not letting the spirit become captive of darkness? A Life Reclaimed is just that: the process of taking charge against all odds and becoming whole again without getting swept away in the destructive currents of self-pity or despair. Sheila's indomitable attitude begs the question: Was she ever less than whole? Who should read this book? Everyone! There is so much to learn." Sylvia Scherer, Artist/Writer
