Advancing Backward

This book is an emotionally engaging ride as its pages reveal the author’s honesty and vulnerability as she makes her way back to herself. She discovers through divorce, death of a loved one, financially lean times, and physical challenges her beating heart can find something to be grateful for even in the darkest hours.. With odd bits of humor the author has the uncanny ability to laugh at life’s absurdities, and relishes each and every moment and what they have to offer. We witness her persevere in the tragic loss of her ex-husband, ability to see through new eyes with her children, survive not one but two near death experiences, marriage to her best friend and redefine her relationships with her own parents. Bound together in the stories she tells is the constant thread of hope. This inspirational memoir is a lovely reminder that while honoring the past is important and planning for the future can be helpful, it is in the present that we can witness the magic.

5Loved the Book!  Jun 18, 2009
By Thomas F. Scott "Tom Scott (Photographer)"
I bought Kellie's book mostly because we grew up near each other. However, we lost contact 30 years ago. Basically, I wanted to find out what she's been up to and if she could really write. I don't like to read. I don't have the time to read. But, I once I started, I could NOT put her book down until I finished! To top it all off, not only did I discover that Kellie could write, but she could write good! She caused me to fall in love with her and the people she writes about. At various times while reading "Advancing Backward", I cried, I laughed, I cheered her on, and I prayed for her and her children. I also learned a lot about how to raise my own child and be prepared for the unexpected. At the end of her book I felt like we were best friends, and I craved more. I can't wait until she writes another book. Good job Kellie, I hope your book makes a lot of money for your charity [...]

5Advancing Backward  Jun 16, 2009
By Shelly Petit
This book can be enjoyed by all readers. It is very easy to connect with the book. There are both funny stories and incredibly heartbreaking stories. The story invokes all emotions of the heart. Ultimately you are left inspired by one womans courage, sense of humor and gratitude for embracing life and what it has to offer to the fullest. I will be looking forward to reading more books this author writes.

5Love this Book  Jun 16, 2009
By S. Hooser "Bookaholic"
Everyone has good times and hard times in their lives. I wish that I had the ability to write my thoughts and share my stories as Kellie has in this book - she made me laugh - I could hear her voice in my head as she tells the story. She also made me cry. Everyone should read this moving tribute about one woman's struggles, passions, joy and perserverance. Thanks Kellie.

5A motivating read that many will enjoy  Oct 09, 2009
By Midwest Book Review
It takes a long while to find out who one really is. "Advancing Backward" Is a memoir of mother Kellie Lynn Ketcham as she reflects on the path through her life and how she found what she really wanted out of life was something that she knew all along. Hoping to inspire readers to glance back when figuring out their future, "Advancing Backwards" is a motivating read that many will enjoy.

5Enticing  Jul 27, 2009
By J. R. Williams
A very good read about a woman's trials and tribulations. Ms. Ketcham's writing is honest, loving, heartbreaking, funny and a lot more - all at the same time. Her style makes you feel like she is right there with you sharing life over a cup of coffee. It's to be enjoyed by both males and females. I would recommend it to teens as well as adults.
