“A beautifully written, touching story. Closure, by Tasche Laine, spoke to me on many levels. My favorite, relatable line in this book: ‘All these years, I had been looking for my self-worth in a man.’ I think this rings true for many women; the ups & downs we go through in life only to truly discover ourselves, well into adulthood. A truly touching story worth your time.”

“One of the best books I have ever read! The author blew me away with her ability to weave her words into an incredible story based on fact. I was immediately taken in and couldn't put this book down. I know when I am hooked when a book emotionally draws me in, challenges my own experiences, and reminds me of the human condition. The letters were incredible, painful, joyful, resourceful, and spoke of an innate desire for self-discovery. You better believe I am waiting at the edge of my seat for the next book. Bravo! Well done!”
