🚀 𝐑𝐞𝐯𝐢𝐞𝐰:
The Rock at the Bottom written by the author Cynthia Hilston is the third book in the ‘Lorna & Tristan’ book series. The main character of the story is Stephen Richardson. His father reminded him every now and then that he is a killer as his mother died while giving birth to him.

As Stephen learnt to read, he started losing himself in the books. Stephen wasn’t loved by his siblings as well. He didn’t have anyone by his side. Stephen’s father’s hatred inspired him to imagine a life that is better than the hellhole he lives in. After graduating from high school, Stephen moved out as per his plan so he could rent an apartment with his buddy Ben. Soon both of them had a job.

Stephen’s encounter with Anna Julie made the story more interesting. Stephen was a ‘I don’t date’ kinda personality but when he met Julie, they started dating and then got married. Will Stephen be able to convey his love to Julie and keep her in his life?

Read this story to know what happens next. The writing style of the author is easy to follow. The cover photo is nice. The story is well paced and I wasn’t bored anytime while reading it. I really loved Stephen’s character from the story. This story teaches us a few important lessons. Go ahead with it without any second thoughts.

🚀 𝐑𝐞𝐯𝐢𝐞𝐰:
Mental Health Matters is an inspirational book written by E. Easton.

My favorite poem from the collection is Mistakes Happen. It tells us that it’s natural to make mistakes as humans but we shouldn’t feel guilty after making mistakes. We should only learn from our mistakes and grow into a better person.

Mistakes are to be utilized as stepping stones.
Take those stones and pile them high so you can keep growing and reach for the stars.
Do not ever let a mistake define you as a person.
Your spirit makes you into the person you are.
Your mistakes just help mold you to become a great human being.

If you are suffering from mental health issues, you should definitely pick up this book. Others also should read it as it is insightful and inspiring. I loved the positive sayings mentioned in this book. This book inspires the readers to look past the bad in the world and I also feel that we should have this in our character to see good in everything. That helps in living a peaceful life.

The poems are relatable. There are many lessons that one could learn from this book. I am grateful to Easton for this inspiring book. It’s worth reading. The language used in the book is lucid so one could understand it easily.

I wish I would have gotten my hands on this book last year when I was struggling with mental health issues. This is a must read book that I like to strongly recommend to everyone.
