What readers have said about Sour Lemons & Prickly Pears...

~“This book is such a page-turner. Love the chapter titles. Thanks for sharing your journey with us!” (T.L.)
 
~"Immediately Crystal’s words draw you in as if you’re having a conversation with a dear friend. Her writing leaves an impact with the reader as she creates these vivid snapshots of her life that express one’s moments of despair, hope, and resilience."(K.D.)

~“Authentic and straight from the heart. Crystal shares firsthand her raw experience as a parent living in the midst of real-life (mother, wife, cancer survivor, business owner). She uses the analogy of prickly pear cactus juice, but I prefer a glass of wine :) I really enjoyed her encouragement to keep a "can do it" attitude through life's challenges. Her story reminds me of the many times I have wanted to give up, but something in the back of my mind says, ‘keep going.’ Thanks for sharing your inspiring journey! (B.P.)
