"What a beautiful book for such a sad story - but a warm feeling of Sheila's tremendous courage and survival spirit radiates from each page! And what a difference parents, friends and good hospitals and rehabilitation center can make ..." Ulrich Hewer
"The book, beautiful and well-edited, depicts a journey of courage, resilience and good-heartedness ... It has also given me a heartening view of family support, including yours, without which Sheila's astounding progress wouldn't have been possible!" Michael Lesparre, Health Care Editor and Writer
"What a wonderful tribute to a courageous young woman! ... Sheila's drawing and poem in the beginning of the book showing the bifurcation of who she is, is very powerful!" Vivian Otteman, Former US Senate Staff
"In this book, Sheila Advento, with the help of Cynthia Angeles, tells how a sudden medical catastrophe forced her to become a quadruple amputee in order to carry on living. She has not only lived, but regained control of her life. The book is engagingly written and copiously illustrated, and any reader will find it both heart-wrenching and inspiring." Graham Hacche, Author
"How do you define courage? By the endurance in tolerating pain? Or by the persistence in not letting the spirit become captive of darkness? A Life Reclaimed is just that: the process of taking charge against all odds and becoming whole again without getting swept away in the destructive currents of self-pity or despair. Sheila's indomitable attitude begs the question: Was she ever less than whole? Who should read this book? Everyone! There is so much to learn." Sylvia Scherer, Artist/Writer
"Cynthia wrote a heart warming book about her niece and the wonderful recovery from being a quadruple amputee. Written from the heart with compassion, Cynthia did a beautiful job. As you read the book, note one of her paintings......
The true story reveals the strength and dedication to recover from a terrible tragedy and return to live life to the fullest. Highly recommended and I give it 5 stars." Bud (Amazon reader)
"As Courageous as she is Beautiful, Shelia has accomplished against impossible odds to help spread her message to those who doubt it being done." Vincent Coppola (Amazon reader)
"I am privileged to work with Sheila at Quest Diagnostics. I knew her before her illness and now that she has returned. She needs to update this with her new experience with her new arms. She is definitely an inspiration to all of us." Barbara Carman (Amazon reader)
