Shelia, Thank you so much for speaking during Remembrance Day for Murder Victims in Berks County. The poetry you wrote and read touched many hearts. Although we met through a very unplanned experience, I feel things happen for a reason. You were able to offer hope and inspiration to many hurting hearts. Thank You! God Bless you on your journey and much success in all that you do. I look forward to working with you again in the future. Sincerely, Brenda Cullen

Dear Sheila, Thank you for sharing your testimony so beautifully at my mother's (Ida Glick) funeral. I wanted so much to meet you that day--somehow we missed each other. I appreciate your book very much and share it at every opportunity. Thank you for giving highest praise to our Lord Jesus Christ. Also thank you for the respect you gave my mother while she was still alive--you and your life have given her an honorable tribute. Being missionaries in Atlantic City, we could not visit her very often, but through phone calls we visited frequently--often sharing prayer requests that we on our hearts. I miss her, too.

Your book shows what can happen when you finally meet people who care enough to hang in there with you even though others in your life have given up on you and written you off as a lost cause. I hope you are thanking God every day for bringing Ida Glick into your life.

I've had the pleasure of knowing Sheila as a co-worker for about 12 years now. I never knew, until I read her book what she was going through outside of work, I only knew her as a hard working, caring mother and person. I'm so happy for her that her faith has brought her through the challenges that she's faced over the years. What Sheila has overcome through her faith is inspirational to all who read it.

I've had the pleasure of working (alas, long distance) with Sheila for several years. She's always been a source of positive vibrations and warm humor. After reading her work, I understand from where that wellspring draws! Sheila's writing connected with me as if an old friend was at my side, witnessing, encouraging and challenging me to live life fully! Congratulations, Shelia! Scott

I have read Sheila's book and have known her for a long time. She has had a hard life and is a example of how God can work through someone's pain and sorrow to be a blessing to others. We all have to walk up the staircase, but the further we go the higher it seems the steps become. She has been an inspiration to me to be stronger in my own stuggles, and I can say her story is well worth reading. In His Peace, Michael

Your book has touched me in compelling ways. I read your words and I feel something - often time, very strongly. I find myself saying "YEAH THAT'S IT". ONE example: One of your sections is entiled "THIS IS MY LIFESONG". Just the "category" touches me. "lifesong" - BEAUTIFUL! I have read the book cover to cover over 15 times now... each time I come away with something new and special - that "strikes a chord" with me. It's 144 pages of INSPIRATION and sometimes even perspiration - some of these verses and sections hit SO CLOSE TO HOME - that it makes me SWEAT! If you've not read the book, do so! If the AUTHOR can have hope - you can too! Keep the chain going Adrien! Love & HOPE L.

My 92 year old mother in law Ida read this book straight through,she could not put it down,the incredible hope that Sheila shares gave her such joy to see in print. Ida is mentioned in the book and was instrumentl in leading Sheila to that hope. The book is the story of Sheila's long journey through pain and darkness to the hope of Christ,it is a true testament of how the love of God can transform us!

Having read just part of this wonderful book of hope, and having known Sheila personally for many years, I can say that it is required reading for people who have given up on themselves. Sheila had done this numerous times, but God had other plans for her, and it is obvious that "Straight Up Hope" is part of his plan. To paraphrase some powerful literature: "We should never regret the past or wish close the door on it....., because no matter how far down the scale we have gone, we can always use our experience to help others." And Sheila is the embodiment of this concept. I look forward to her next book.
