Filled with sharply drawn, emotionally powerful senses, Walk Through Fire traces the hardships Sheila faced in her marriage and her professional life. Despite her skills as a violinist and music teacher, as well as her obvious entrepreneurial talent, she had to fight to overcome self-doubt and fears of failure. Sheila vividly details her struggles, including battling institutional racism, losing a child, suffering emotional abuse in her thirty-three-year marriage, and plunging into a deep depression with her divorce. And yet, out of that pain came renewed purpose and meaning.

I love this book!!! I feel so empowered and knowledgeable. I'm from Haiti but this book gave me a clearer understanding of the plight my homeland has been enduring and surviving for hundreds of years. I recommend this book for anyone willing to educate themselves, especially their children.

Brought back memories
Reviewed: 11-03-22
Really liked it. Some of the stories really brought back fun memories of my homeland. I loved how descriptive the author about her sensory experiences. I didn't like the way most of the stories left you wondering. Overall good stories and very well read.
