“In Single Smiling Mom, Carol takes us on her personal journey through not one but two of life's larger emotional, physical hurdles.  She does so by showing acceptance of self, appreciation of the simple things in life (family, friends, nature, and food).  A delightful book yet heartfelt leaving you the reader with many opportunities to reflect...”

“Beautiful... Wonderful...amazing and inspiring...as I finished the last pages I started to feel like it can't be over...it’s just beginning... And in saying that realized what a profound meaning that has and it has resonated for me in my own life after reading these words of yours.  I feel ....I know things... life happens for reasons beyond our knowledge but for our greatest good! This book is proof of that.  I feel honoured and blessed to have felt a piece of this with you on this journey we call life.”

"This beautiful book is unlike any other personal account of living with cancer that I have read AND she does it as a single Mom!  Smiling Single Mom changed the way I think about cancer and parenting. This beautifully written book offers patients and families practical insights into how they can live their life more fully and derive meaning from amidst the heartbreak of a body-robbing illness.”
~ Janet Almond, business woman and mother

“It is all about telling your story, and hoping that it helps someone else as they travel that same road.  I admire your ability to single parent two children while going thru treatments – I am not sure how you did that but I know you will provide inspiration to anyone who reads your story.  I hope you gave yourself lots of pats on the back… they seem like great boys.”
~ Kimberley Rideout, author of Taken to my Knees
