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.

5A motivating read that many will enjoy  Oct 09, 2009
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.

5Real Life...A Must-Read  Sep 21, 2009
This book is genuine. Not everyday do you pick up a book that can put you to tears and make you laugh about everyday situations and it be completely true not something fictional. This book is for those who believe that they are in the darkest of times and feel like they can't make it. It offers hope and inspiration and it's even for those who aren't in the darkest of times. Readers of all generations can pick up this book and feel like they can relate on any specific level, the author has it all. You feel as if she is speaking directly to you as she tells her story.

5Enticing  Jul 27, 2009
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.

I think as a reader, you pick up a book like you make a soup. You chose your direction and then you want to read the pages to find out if anything is starting to smell good. As I started Advancing Backwards, I realized that this is some good, warm soup. An average American woman can find the positive in so many of life's struggles. Read the book and you will know what I'm talking about. I found the book to have some tasty pieces.... and I call this some chunky stew!

5Advancing Backward  Jul 10, 2009
Once I started "Advancing Backward" I couldn't put it down. I supposed what appealed to me the most was that is was a "real story." It wasn't written by a movie star, a mom with multiple, multiples of children or a recovering addict of some sort. The story involves an everyday person living an everyday life, with her everyday parents, husband, children. This is a life I could relate too.
Kellie told the story with humor and a reality that connected with myself and my sister whom borrowed the book from me. She loved it too.
Overall, this book was a wonderful read and I will recommend it to anyone.
