This book is one you can’t put down. Emily’s writing makes you feel like you are there with her at every moment. She shares her raw emotions in dealing with suicide, loss of her mother, her own cancer journey all the while raising her children and finding love again. This beautifully written book reminds us how precious life is and the inner strength we all possess in those times when all hope seems lost. Her mantra, “I am the storm,” is both encouraging and inspiring. Highly recommend the read!

Emily Zarecki is a smart, thought-provoking writer who has overcome so much with grace, humor, and grit. Golden Scars details the experiences no one wants to have, but that everyone needs to know how to navigate. This book is so much more than a memoir. It’s a personal journey that so many of us will face in one form or another. How do we overcome great obstacles? How do those bumps help us face future challenges? How do they help us appreciate the gifts to be found in every moment? Thank you, Emily, for giving all of us new ways to think about ourselves.
