"My stories are love letters to this beautiful, broken world—written in the hope that we might leave it a little kinder than we found it."

1 The Deep Abyss Cover Ready.png
Insightful and Poetic
Elisa Christensen gives you a fascinating exploration of one woman's journey to self-discovery. Eden McGuire's experiences after a major earthquake are less about survival skills, which she primarily learns by observing nature around her. It's much more about her having meaningful encounters with various people that she has known throughout her life, and each of these moments are filled with personal insight and reflective poetry. Through Eden's various introspections, The Deep Abyss ultimately offers the reader encouragement, wisdom, and a time for their own self-exploration.

Full of Clarity and Love
Reading Raising Boys To Be Honorable Men was like peeking into the hearts and minds of boys who were becoming young men. 
The amazing thing about this piece of writing is the clarity and love that runs throughout the chapters in dealing with life's problems that every human being will encounter. Her profound suggestions throughout this book of love and kindness make the world a better place to grow up in. Journey on. Neeko and Cruze!

Essential Reference Material For a Good Life in General

We all can avail ourselves to a little outside perspective from time to time as parents. Elisa’s book provides another perspective as thoughtful guidance and heartfelt advice to her sons through letters that can be shared with “your sons” and others if you believe in and practice positive parenting.  

 

More importantly, Elisa didn’t just write these letters and hope for the best, she continually teaches and reinforces these ideals and principles with her sons as part of her everyday parenting to better prepare them to be honorable young men.

 

This book actually goes beyond the lessons for effective parenting and could be considered essential reference material in preparing for a good life in general.

 A Raw and Riveting Account of One Woman's Struggle to Conquer Opiates
Opiate dependency has reached pandemic proportions and doctors dispense pills at such alarming rates, they might as well use Pez dispensers. Here's one woman's inspirational story. A quick, easy read about the tragedy of addiction, eminently readable and at times riveting. I highly recommend it.

This book makes for a great read - well written and to the point. The pace flies along as the writer's story is told. She is open and honest, while keeping the story short and concise. 5 stars.
