Page-turner, Refreshing, Hope, Inspirational

Becky Conrad draws you into her life with a desire to know what will happen next. You hope for the best as she struggles to put the past behind her. Her thoughts make you feel as if you are there, and you will find it hard to put this book down. As with many women, Becky has a lot on her heart and mind. She wants to contribute by giving back to her community. If you are an animal lover, this book will please you. Her love of animals leads her down the road of unavoidable heartbreak. Working for the Humane Society gives her purpose, but takes so much of her time; it is overwhelming. She struggles to balance work and her private life. Church was a place she thought would fulfill the desire to serve and worship God in the company of other believers. Human nature steals the joy as she questions her heartfelt desire to help and serve others. She gave until she was broken down and no one seemed to care. Questioning her life path, she makes hard to take adjustments. She makes you feel her disappointment and frustration. Her writing is truly understandable as you follow her steps. This book is a refreshing story filled with ups and downs, as she deals with the declining health of her Mother. The detailed nature of this book shows the reader, you are not alone. She makes you realize you must have patience and forgiveness. I loved this book for its truth in writing. Becky shows you there is hope for those that have suffered great pain at the hands of those they loved. A book you will recommend to family and friends. Writer, Mary Hecht-Colora, MD.
Raw and Honest

I have just finished reading "A Better Day Dawning." Becky Conrad's second book. This autobiography is a wonderful testament of life after abuse. It shows the reader that there is more to life than stepping into an abyss when leaving your abuser. There is no promise that it will be easy but Conrad shows that with determination and spirit, a new life can be built one brick at a time. The author shows that it is wonderful to be able make your own decisions and to breathe freely. The emotions revealed in this book are raw and honest. It leaves the reader relieved, with hope of a better day.

Hey Becky... Just finished your second book..WOW! It was so awesome.
You have helped me in so many ways. I know I have learned a lot in the 2 books I've
read about life and men and that men aren't all bad and how to learn to forgive.
Even those who really just didn't deserve your forgiveness. Sorry, but there were a
few people that I would have knocked out for ya. You have taught me so much and I am
so grateful that you chose to share your story so that people like me know we're not
alone. For some reason God wanted me to read your books. There were so many signs. A
friend was telling me about it...I was in an abusive relationship. Well thank you for
taking the time to read my e-mails. I sure hope there will be another book :) You're
a great writer. Ashley

Just got through reading the second book. You
are an amazing person, Becky. You have conquered so much and
helped so many people and animals along the way. I can't
believe one person could be involved in so many things at one
time, and writing two books to boot. Best of luck in your book
sales, helping others, and your future endeavors. P. S.
Came out of the Darkness

Becky, I thought your sequel was excellent. You
came out of the darkness and proved you could get a better life.
It took a lot of hard work, and it was a very hard road to
travel, but you did it. Your sequel was inspiring, full of
laughter and tears, and I was so thrilled for you in the end!
You are a good writer and I am looking forward to your next
book! Keep writing. You do inspire others so much. S.L.

I read Becky's second book in five days! It was awesome! So much knowledge and information about domestic violence and abuse to tell others about. I loved all the poems too. The ending was incredible! I am so happy for her! Keep writing, Becky. You are an inspiration to so many! She taught me so much about forgiveness.
Great job!
God bless always,

A Really New Day
Reviewed by: Judie (4/27/2007)
Becky writes to make all of us feel that there
is a new day right around the corner, all you have to do is make
that turn. What a wonderful and uplifting story of her life. I
felt as if I was with her along that long journey. That her pets
were my pets and that her salvation was mine. Keep up the faith
and keep writing.
Becky Conrad's Heart
Reviewed by: Dolly (3/27/2007)
It is true, each of us have our own personal story
about our journey through life. There are some willing to take
that very courageous step to share their story in print. I
thought A BETTER DAY DAWNING was far more than a story ... I
believe it is Becky Conrad's heart. With each of life's
injustices and lessons, the human spirit refused to suffer
defeat but continued in search of that ... better day dawning!
Great Reading

A new day and a new life. A safer one. I find it very up
lifting, after what she went through in her earlier years. I
know this wonderful lady, and she is and always will be my
closest friend. I was very elated to read the poems her
husband wrote, what a compassionate man. I know him also,
but I didn't know his inner being. I always knew he was a
great guy. I also know that their lives together are
precious. Great job my friend....Shar
