About Beyond the Tears: A True Survivor’s Story
Author Lynn C. Tolson appeals to the reader from the first paragraph of her powerful memoir Beyond the Tears: A True Survivor’s Story.
Tolson uses creative non-fiction to tell her story, fascinating the reader with metaphor, prose, and poetry. Tolson tells her riveting story in first-person narrative, enabling the reader to bond with her authentic voice. Readers can visualize the settings, plot, and characters due to the descriptions and dialogue. This is not an average auto-biography: the book combines story-telling with self-help, affirmations, meditations, and therapeutic concepts. The reader is challenged to explore social problems within the context of family relationships. However, Tolson uses her clever wit to offer the reader comic relief. Readers say that they simultaneously laughed and cried. Some readers say that reading the book changed their lives. Readers say they view themselves and their families with a fresh perspective.
“I read Beyond the Tears. Bravo! It’s a very compelling piece of writing. I’m blown away by your honesty and more, by your ability to access it” (P.S., MFA)
