Summary: I laughed and I cried! I couldn't put this book down!
Review: I received the book on a Friday afternoon and sat down to "skim" through it. I couldn't put the book down. I sat in my reading chair in my den and read and read and read..... My husband came home and I had huge tears in my eyes, but I was smiling. He was curious and asked me what was going on. I shared just a portion of the LoveGifts contained inside this awesome book with him. When I finished reading, he immediately nabbed it for his own ejoyment. I feel like a new person. This book made me see things in a different light. I'm sure anyone who reads it will share my feelings! Go ahead! Put your "Wrong Feet First"!

Summary: An inspiring collection of true stories
Review: In Wrong Feet First: A Gift Of Stories For Your Inside-Out Kind Of Days, Arta Banks presents a heartwarming, entertaining, and occasionally inspiring collection of true stories illustrating and celebrating life in good times and tough times. A single mom with six children (five of whom are adopted), Arta has also taken in kids born with drug addiction, fleeing abusive homes, and experienced having her youngest daughter diagnosed with HIV when just two and a half months old. Drawn from Arta's personal experiences and journal recordings, Wrong Feet First is candid, emotionally moving, and a testament to the resilience and endurance of the human spirit -- as well as a celebration of the joys that balance sorrows, the power of hope, and the beauty life has to offer in even the most humble of circumstances.

Summary: A story straight to the heart...
Review: It was Thanksgiving 2001 when my Aunt came for a visit and gave a copy of Arta's book to my mother, sister, and me. "Read the story on page 45" she said, and to our surprise there was a description of a man we all loved and miss very much. "Mr. Bob" was my uncle. The husband to my aunt, brother to my mother, and always my sisters and my favorite uncle. I will always be grateful for Arta's story and hope someday to say thank you in person. Her stories tug at your heart strings and bring a smile to your lips. What a remarkable woman!

Summary: I am this author's physician!
Review: Once I started it I couldn't put it down. Not only was it heartwarming and funny, but it was very thought provoking. It makes you take stock of your life and where you have been and where it is going. Great for mothers of any age children, and anyone else that needs to know what the important things in life are. I loved it!! Carol Stanley
