Book Review - Laughing Through The Ugly Cry


Laughing Through the Ugly Cry
and finding unstoppable joy

Thomas Nelson; Illustrated Edition May 26, 2020

Reviewed by Diane Busch

Beautiful presentation from cover to cover, including crisp white pages with decorative border and large font, to colorful photographs that break up the chapters and compliment the text.  All of the above plus the short chapters, makes it not intimidating for a non-reader which the author confesses to be herself.

Dawn has a delightful, fun and honest writing style that keeps you engaged and entertained.  She is down to earth, relatable, funny and encouraging all at the same time.  What makes her story so inspiring, is that even as she shares her pain and struggles she also brings joy and humor.  And through it all her faith has become deeper and stronger.
