I like the way you have structured your writing throughout - very ordered.
I'm not sure I'd have put the blog comments where you did, but that's just my opinion.
You've obviously written from the heart in this, and it comes across as such. I think a lot of people would benefit from reading that others struggle in their lives too. I'm not religious at all so I struggle with that aspect when reading books of this genre. I was a VERY strong Christian at one point in my life - about 20 years ago, but after some hideous events in my life (not self inflicted - deaths of my children), I turned away from that life and found I was much happier just living a normal, clean life.
One point, at the end of the introduction, I felt the sentence was a bit clumsy? Only my opinion of course - ..."this is the journey He took me on." I feel it would be better as "He took me on this journey"
Well done with this.
Mike.

I have start to read the first 4 chapters. 
Lost, loneliness, fears and what could I do to walkway from such pain? 

I like the way how you did the formatting with the tittle...it does give the ideas of what we have had and what could be done in better way (for the reader). 

This book is very interesting for each individual within or without relationship and can be introduced to the earlier of ages of reason. 

Not sure if No-Christian will get the message that you are trying to say in here...but definitely it is worth to try to attract them too... 

will read more and get back to you...

Here’s a CCRG review.
  
You are one of the bravest and most trusting women I have met.  (Well I haven’t really met you, but I feel like I know you after reading a couple of your books)
 
Your story is quite remarkable and truthfully, hard to imagine.  It is honest and raw in its telling, yet so  encouraging.  I’m so glad you have come through the dark days and I hope they stay away.

You have found what works for you, and you are sure enough and kind enough to share your secret with others – that being a close relationship with Jesus, getting rest, exercising, eating right, journaling your good days and bad days.  Your discipline serve you well when faced with a medical crisis.  And you came through with a positive, grateful attitude.

It is obvious God is allowing you to use your early choices and troubles as teaching tool for other girls.  I know your story has spoken to me.
 
I only had one question.  When the doctor found the cyst, were you pregnant?  Unless it's in chapter five (I read through chapter four) I missed it, you didn’t tell what happened with that pregnancy.

Angela, thank you for telling your story and bringing hope and direction to all those who read your book.  Highly starred!

Your writing is clear and easy to read, with lots of very practical and useful advice.  Please have a read of my book THE GOD PLEASERS, and let me know what you think.  Although I have had a real relationship with God since I was 5 years old, I have still experienced my share of heartache and trouble.  I am considering whether to include my testimony, so that people won't think I've had a trouble free life.</div>]]></description><link>http://www.authonomy.com/books/42478/hope-s-journey/#comment_859657</link><pubDate>Thu, 22 Mar 2012 07:42:49 GMT</pubDate></item><item><title>Comment from faith rose - 15/03/2012 17:53:55</title><description><![CDATA[<div style='float:left'><img src='http://authonomy.com/images/avatar/Authonomy_Avatar_1007201113833797.jpg'></div><div style='padding-left:10px'>Dear Angela,

Thank you for sharing your journey, your story, your pain. After readng your first two chapters, I knew this would be a necessary, life-changing read. You have written this story from such a personal vantage point, as you have shared some very desperate times. Suicide is such a heartwrenching tragedy in families; I sincerely applaud you for allowing us to see your life and your deepest pain. Wishing you every success with this piece, believing it will touch (and change) many hearts.

All the very best,
Faith Rose

Your using your own story to share and help others as they may be going  or have gone through.
It is so deep and strong.
Thanks for sharing with us.
Good work at portraying your story to the reader.
Best wishes.
