This story has blown the door wide open to my soul. I certainly had a lot to think about, after reading By The Way A Memoir of Religion, Abuse, and Redemption by Jaime Kay Chase. This book gives the reader another view on forgiving oneself for past mistakes, and forgiving others. I really enjoyed this book and I will read it again and again for inspiration, hope and faith. I definitely recommend it to everyone I know, because it takes you on an awe inspiring ride through the eyes of a woman in turmoil; and for sure will keep you turning the pages to see what will happen next. I have always wanted to write a book about my adventures, tragedies and triumphs, and since I am not as talented as Jaime Kay Chase, it was very freeing to know that that knowledge is out there for anyone brave enough to venture into deep emotional waters.

What an amazing writer! I find myself thinking about this book a lot. You paint the picture well...I can see some of the scenes in my mind like it's a forgotten memory of a movie. Very good writing!

I read this book in one evening. Thanks for sharing your life in such a open and honest way.

Jaime Kay Chase takes us on an amazing page turning journey from her troubled and abusive childhood…to her triumph discovery of self worth, forgiveness and passion for life! Her creative writing style, sense of humor, brutal honesty and intense compassion for others, helps brighten an otherwise disturbing, and unfortunate past. She is truly a pillar of strength and inspiration to anyone who reads this book! She is even more beautiful to me after reading her incredible story and she proves that life truly begins when you accept the past and embrace the future with an open heart and mind.

By the Way is an engrossing novel that will keep you up, needing to turn the page. Jaime Kay Chase is a talented writer that makes you not just feel as if you know her story, but as though you are actually right there, going through these experiences with her and feeling the same disbelief, disappointment, sadness, joys, triumphs and revelations that she is. In the end, you will not only applaud her journey, but this book as well.
