Healing Your Attachment Wounds: A Guide to What’s Hidden in Your Attachment Style and Relationships
Delving into the intricate world of developmental theory, Boadi Moore’s Healing Your Attachment Wounds illuminates the significant influence of childhood attachment on adult relationships. Moore thoroughly unpacks how attachment styles, shaped during early development, permeate through every aspect of relational interaction, occasionally leading to trauma and misunderstanding.
In this sophisticated exploration, the second in the Sisterhood series, Moore seamlessly combines her personal narratives with comprehensive research. Her transparent and candid writing style elucidates complex theoretical frameworks, making the subject matter both accessible and enlightening. Serving as an empathetic guide, Moore adopts a holistic perspective on attachment disorders, offering tangible steps towards healing and self-improvement.
One of the standout sections of this insightful book is the chapter dedicated to the concept of ‘letting go’. Despite the common skepticism around this idea, Moore convincingly argues that there comes a point where blaming upbringing loses its merit. Letting go, she posits, creates the necessary mental space to facilitate healing—a vital gem among numerous others in this compelling read.
Healing Your Attachment Wounds not only presents a powerful discourse on attachment styles and their implications, but also fosters meaningful conversation around these often-overlooked aspects of relational dynamics.

Designed for anyone grappling with challenges related to intimacy, trust, anxious attachment, and identity merging, this book can serve as a valuable starting point. While it does not replace professional therapy, it equips the reader with a comprehensive understanding of their attachment style and its effect on interpersonal relationships. It inspires readers to embark on the journey of self-discovery and self-improvement.
Boadi Moore’s creation is indeed a beacon of hope for individuals seeking healthier relationships, despite the lingering effects of negative childhood attachments. It emphasizes that the past, while significant, need not dictate the future adversely.
The compelling narrative, coupled with Moore’s authentic connection with the reader, makes Healing Your Attachment Wounds not only worthy of one’s time but also deserving of recommendation. It truly serves as an instrument of healing for readers from all walks of life.

Hidden in the Shadows
When Evie returns to her idyllic hometown for her grandfather’s funeral, the last thing she expects is to be dragged into a decades-old mystery. Instead, she finds various sinister clues aInstead, among her grandfather’s possessions, such as a haunting photograph and a bloody knitting needle. Teaming up with figures from her past, such as an old flame, Luke, and a friend from school, Azlinn, she uncovers a deep and twisted conspiracy. The closer they get to the truth, the more sinister and expansive it becomes – and the nearer the threats come to the home.
Hidden in the Shadows by A. D. Vancise is a tale of conspiracy and power. Told through interweaving storylines that slowly connect, the novel explores themes such as greed, lust, and belief in the supernatural. In this book, Vancise skilfully intertwines the magic of cozy small-town charm with the horrific acts those in power can do.
A. D. Vancise makes a sharp delineation between good and evil in her portrayals. Many of the characters, Evie included, are relatable, and the reader can empathize strongly with their journey. The story is filled with heartwarming portrayals of people with nothing but good intentions. On the other hand, the book also depicts people committing heinous acts with no remorse. The author does a beautiful job of depicting both sides of the spectrum and presenting the extremes of human intention.
Hidden in the Shadows by A. D. Vancise is a thrilling mystery that keeps readers in suspense from the first clue until the end. Vancise manages to tell a compelling and imaginative story with a tense and coherent plot within a very atmospheric setting, keeping the reader hooked until the end. The prose is well-written and a joy to read. However, the book contains some very distressing and graphic scenes that are unsuitable for children or the weak of heart. Overall, I would strongly recommend this book to those who enjoy mystery and horror novels.

Hidden in Plain Sight
A man of God does not always equate to a Godly man. In Sharon Moore’s novel Hidden in Plain Sight the reader is submerged into the life of two Bishops; Bishop James Collins and Bishop Quincy Stewart. Both minister to super churches in the Research Triangle Park area of North Carolina. They have competing congregations that appeal to similar groups but the two Bishops have drastically different goals and priorities. Both men are married and like their churches, their marriages are different and mirror their situations. Playing off well known images of the African American society Moore draws the reader into the culture surrounding the life of the people and families that make these super churches function. The novel also reminds us that just being ordained in the house of God does not remove one from all sin and does not make one perfect.
This story takes place in modern time, going back to the early 60’s when the characters meet. You learn how James Collins and Quincy Stewart meet their wives and start building up their mega church communities. The readers are also introduced to Jason White, the 29-year-old, grew up and out of the ghetto man, that has a chip on his shoulder and is out for revenge. It is discovered early in the novel that one of the Bishop’s is his father, but it isn’t said right off who. Jason’s mother, Bridgett, has recently died and his aunt tells him the truth about his family and father. This sets him off and he decides to seek out his father for revenge but he is unsure what exactly he wants. While seeking out his father he himself starts finding himself taking an interest in becoming and more Godly man. While James Collins appears the model Bishop with a happy family life, there is some underlying tension with his oldest son Lee. Quincy Stewart is quickly shown to be an abusive and manipulative man who cares only for his own needs and appearances.
The stories of the bishop’s families and Jason White all intermingle by the end of this novel. Outside influences play a large part but so do the internal struggles of each character. One disappointing point of this novel is the ending. This book is the first in a series, typically in a book series, one story line would be concluded with tie ins to the next novel, this book ends like a TV series season ending, cliffhanger with no resolution and just many questions. I found this frustrating especially given the volatile situation one character ends up in.
Moore does a good job bringing out the personalities and culture of her character’s environment. The use of traditional African American dialect is used not to be profane or show ignorance, rather it is indicative of the normal conversational language of the culture. She also does a good job showing how the mega church culture is more than just a church, it is a life style for those that their entire lives revolve around the church. Hidden in Plain Sight shows the good and the bad involved with the community and struggles and challenges it presents, especially on the families living it. Over all it is a great start to the series and I look forward to seeing how things go in the lives of all the characters.

The Journal of Hidden Truths
The Journal of Hidden Truths by Mary Avery Kabrich elegantly bridges the realms of coming-of-age and speculative fiction, appealing to a broad audience spanning adults, teens, and young adults.
As readers dive in, they’re introduced to Star, a 13-year-old character whose introspective nature shines brilliantly. When she receives a journal as a gift from her mother, Mariah, it becomes a vessel for Star’s introspective revelations and concealed truths.
Kabrich showcases her adept writing skills, seamlessly drawing readers into the narrative and cultivating a plot that beckons one to eagerly anticipate the unfolding events. The prologue, in particular, serves as a model for creating dramatic tension.
The characters, with their relatable and heartfelt complexities, are a highlight. Star, often perceived by others as “strange” and “different,” faces her mother’s desires for her to be “interesting” and “unique.” While some may find her peculiar, her journey of building genuine friendships and traversing the challenges of her teenage years will resonate with many.
Her introspections on her dynamics with Mariah offer an authentic portrayal of a mother-daughter relationship. Yet, it’s Star’s uncanny insights into the secrets of those around her that truly distinguish her tale. Contrasting Star’s unwavering belief in cosmic signals, Mariah embodies a pragmatic outlook, often skeptical of perceptions beyond tangible realities.
The narrative’s rhythm is engaging, with a gentle ebb and flow. Enhancing the pacing in the central sections could further elevate the reading experience, as these parts delve deeply into the characters’ trajectories, occasionally overshadowing the main plot’s advancement.
For those seeking a narrative intertwined with mystery, introspection, and a touch of the metaphysical, The Journal of Hidden Truths is a commendable choice. Kabrich’s narrative talents breathe life into the captivating journey of an enigmatic girl and her pragmatic mother.

Ignored and Hidden Societal Issues
Listen to Shoes is a blend of reality and imagination, addressing societal issues that are often ignored and overlooked. What was the inspiration for the original and fascinating idea at the center of the book?
After a series changes in my life, I started to experience new challenges which I have never thought I might be faced with. Since I, personally, was witness to those realities, it inspired me to write a book combined with imagination about ignored and hidden societal issues.
What were some themes that were important for you to explore in this book?
Negligence, ignorance, pre-judgment, effects of economical recession, political effects, hidden pressures on low income, the elderly, and minorities.
What is one thing that people point out after reading your book that surprises you?
Relate it to romance, specific race, gender.
What is the next book you are working on, and when will that be published?
After three books in a row writing about hidden challenges that most minorities are facing every day, I decided to write a fantasy romance that talks about love and its hidden issues. Something is different in this book compared to my previous books; it is a story of minorities in high class citizens, opposite to low or mid class, which most people believe they have absolutely no issue or are faced with any challenges. I am working on it, and I think will be published before New Year’s.
