What to read after Shades of Life?

Did you experience pain and loss in the spring of your life?

Were you robbed of family, security, and love at an early age?

Did you find yourself empty of color

and overcast by shades of grey after losing a loved one?

Have you experienced hopelessness, sadness and depression?

Then, Shades of Life is the book for you....

Shades of Life by Emma Hilson-Gregory poetically reminds the reader that it is ok to cry and not feel ok. Life does not always go how we think or expect it should, bur our will to carry on and hold onto love and hope is part of the wonder of living.

What people are saying about Shades of Life:

There is a fine line between love and hate, light and dark, good and bad, some may even say there’s only a shade difference between them all. Two emotions seemingly opposite one another, but in fact they’re lighter and darker shades of the same feeling. This book, “Shades of Life” blends those emotions, exposing the hues of the human experience so honestly. Shade is a result of how light or dark a color appears to its counterparts, and that effect can be seen in our life experiences as expressed in “Shades of Life.” From the dark stains of tragedy to the bright tones of innocence and triumph, Emma Hilson-Gregory casts an array of tints and tinges across these pages in the form of colorful penmanship. Accompanying the words are shadows, coolness, and intensity in the form of black-and-white artwork and imagery that live amongst the shade cast by the author’s mighty pen. The illustrator, Marie Moldovan crosshatches the words to the artwork with a perfect understanding of light and darkness that brings playful images from the shadows and fills in the shadows with a darkness that is felt. This read spans the emotional spectrum, from tapping into the inner child to triggering the heavier-hearted realities of life. --Joe Mykut, Author of Beautiful Boy
