What People Are Saying About The Private Diary "The Private Diary is a story of one Woman's journey through pain and into love. I wept; I laughed; I was awed by the wisdom this beautiful piece of writing contains. If you want to 'wake-up' and start living the life of your dreams, read this book..." Rebecca O'Dwyer, Centred Woman "Bridget Jones eat your heart out. The Private is a collection of memoirs depicting a woman navigating through life, love and lustre. Some stories are shared in prose and others in poetry but they are finely balanced to make a diverse and entertaining read. The Journal is quite simply, beautifully written." Carly Evans, author of The Little Welsh Wanderer "A.M Rees's talent for poetry is apparent in this beautiful story of a young woman's journey to find herself and eventually, honest love. In an unusual combination of emotive poetry and colloquial prose, The Private Diary is an insightful view of the emotional upheaval that the woman faces and conquers, in her quest for self-knowledge, independence and genuine love." Debbie Miles, The Athena Network A Message from your Author Life should be an adventure - this is the most important theme within The Private Diary. It encourages you to question your path, especially after heartbreak, personal loss or depression - whatever your age or background. We all know that life is not always a fairy tale. But I believe the gallant women who discovery their inner bravery, and learn to fight the battles residing in the secret chambers of their hearts - will become the heroines of their own lives. I hope the Private Diary provides a little bit of this magical bravery for anyone searching for more than just an ordinary life... A Life Changing Read? "Sometimes a book comes along that changes you for the better in a very painless way. I joke that my favourite hobby is personal and spiritual development, or the path to enlightenment, and I read a lot of books that promise to alter my perspective and increase my self-awareness. This unassuming little book takes you by the hand and leads you on a journey through your emotions. For me it was a gentle and delightful process. I wish more people would write useful books that help us make the most of ourselves while keeping a light heart about it."
