I hope your book signing on Saturday went well! I read your book on my flight to Seattle and was deeply moved by your positivity and strength in the face of adversity. No parent should have to bury their child, and I admire how you managed to be there for your other daughter while navigating such profound loss. With every twist and turn in your story, I found myself thinking, "Oh no, there can’t be more, can there?"
Ravyn’s joy when she received her wig made me smile, and it was heartwarming to learn that she chose a dog for her Make-A-Wish. And finding out that Zion passed away in 2023 stirred unexpected emotions. Though I’m not a parent, your message about faith in God and ourselves resonated with me. We may not control what life throws at us, but we can choose our response. You chose to live with your head held high, not just for yourself but for your daughter, and you opened your heart to love again.
When my brother was diagnosed with cancer at 30, I witnessed his struggles and stood by my parents as we cried and prayed for his recovery. Thankfully, he’s been in remission for over six years, but those dark memories linger. I wish my mother had read your story back then, and I plan to give her your book for comfort today.
Thank you for sharing your inspiring story, Acetra. I know your daughters—both in heaven and on earth—are incredibly proud of you.

100% Healed: A Mother’s Journal of Moving Mountains to Heal the Heart After Death and Divorce is a necessary read. Russell’s unwavering faith and unflinching commitment to walk a God-lead path lends hope and encouragement to those who have experienced a loss. It is ok to grieve. Dee Russell’s transparency is refreshing. Highly recommended.

Get your tissues because the first couple chapters will have you in tears. At least I was. I didn't think I would be able to finish the book because I just kept crying. But I finished it and am so proud that it was shared with us. It shows that you truly never know what a person is enduring in their lives.

"100% Healed" is a book that I would recommend to anyone. First, A. Dee Russell's writing is very clear and vivid. You are able to understand what she has been through and the steps she has taken to heal from it and to thrive. But, it's not just about telling her own story; it's truly about helping people. At the end of each chapter, she asks questions and gives you the space to reflect on what you've read and to apply it to your own life. No matter what your background is or what you've experienced in life, and because everyone at some point struggles, everyone can relate to and benefit from this book.

I breezed through this book in one night—it just had me hooked. It felt like I was right there with her, wanting to lend a comforting shoulder. The author beautifully articulates the transformative power of her unwavering faith in God that guided her through her pain and suffering. What captivated me beyond her personal struggles, was her willingness to share her journey but also providing practical guidance and meaningful scriptures to assist others navigating their own grief. This book speaks to more than just those who've lost loved ones; it resonates with anyone grappling with loss in a world fraught with uncertainties. It serves as a poignant reminder that our Heavenly Father is a constant presence in our lives. Just a note, I never write reviews, but I couldn't wait to write this one. Pick up a copy and you will see why!

100% Healed was a great book that I would truly recommend to anyone. Not only was it inspiring, but it had me in tears as I read chapter after chapter. The thought of anyone enduring the pain of loss in any form would be hard for anyone to understand. However, because of Dee having her remarkable faith and belief in God, allowed her to conquer everything she was faced with. I’m beyond proud of her and would give this book 5 stars.

The author does a phenomenal job of speaking to not only those who grieve the loss of a child but to those who grieve in various ways (divorce, heartbreak, disappointment - created by the natural “ebbs and flows” of life. Ultimately, God is our healer and our comforter, and through Him, ALL things are possible!
