Laetitia Black Reviews Breach Of My Heart
I found a new respect for you through your writing. While reading your book, I reflected on the fact that the 3rd Anniversary of Katrina is upon us and realized that we are still so far from total reconciliation. I enjoyed this book immensely and look forward to reading Straight From My Heart.

Straight From My Heart & Breach Of My Heart Review By Michael G. Bagneris
Once again, Marie Bookman has exposed her heart. Her first book, “Breach of My Heart,” captured the love for her city. It displayed the pain she felt for the suffering endured by her fellow citizens and the heartfelt pride she had for their resiliency and determination.
Her new book, “Straight From My Heart,” is much more personal. She gives us a peek at the multidimensional phases of love — love of self, love of family, love of friends, love of community.

Breach Of My Heart Review By Attorney Victoria Hines
Even now I’m fighting back tears as I think back on that day. I just wanted to write to tell you Thank You for being courageous enough to put your thoughts down to paper and sharing them with the world. I think that they will help those of us like myself who share many of your feelings but are unable to really express them.
