"Uplifting, Nostalgic, Inspiring! A life lived with an optimistic perspective on challenges starting initially with a family from two very different cultures and religions, as well as dealing with her lifelong health issues. I enjoyed this nostalgic journey through a generation of American political and cultural events. Iris: a woman of faith and who’s near death experience was awe-inspiring. I appreciated her colorful characterization of much-loved family and friends." -Diana K
"For me, this book is a memoir that ties my family history to events as we evolved as a family from a multicultural perspective over the past century. Russian, Italian influences coupled with Jewish and Catholic traditions provided an interesting story to tell. The book is well written and well researched showcasing how we dealt with world events and notable people for the past 100 years." -Lance Fisher
One of the benefits of recording an audio book is that I had to read every word, often multiple times. Her story is quite amazing. The adage, “What doesn’t kill you makes you stronger” is certainly true for her. But, as she says continuously throughout the book, she was never alone – family, friends and God were always with her and looking out for her. It is a message that truly does need to be heard in these days of FaceBook, Twitter, Texting, Instagram and more. I know of parents who cannot have a conversation with their children except by texting them. That is really sad.
Iris shares insights into situations many of us have probably experienced and it is amazing to read how God was leading her through. I loved her description of seeing what heaven was like, at least I believe that is what she saw.
Never Alone is a great read with lots of powerful messages throughout. I pray that this book will touch the hearts and minds of many to realize that we are truly Never Alone." - Don Helmey – Audio Narrator
