Reader's Choice—Rebecca's Read
DIY award
Rick and Alice Garlock's first co-authored release is Spirit Unbroken; the two sides of love. It is a work that is both tragic and triumphant. A true story, it is based on Alice's 50 year struggle to find her maternal family half-a-world-away, while enduring a dark and demeaning childhood. The book touches poverty, racism, prejudice, peer pressure, abuse, and religion; still finding the strength to offer inspirational actions and miraculous results among unforgivable acts of cruelty.
Midwest Book Review named Spirit Unbroken a "REVIEWER’S CHOICE" book, and says, "Spirit Unbroken: The Two Sides of Love" is Alice Garlock's recollection of trying to find her ancestral origins. A product of the intermingling of American GIs and Japanese women after World War II, Alice returns to her mother's land in order to find the family she never knew. The tale is touching and will encourage those with estranged family to attempt to seek them as well. Spirit Unbroken is a great choice for those seeking an upbeat tale of finding home in a place so far away from it."
"The drive to write the book stems from the desire to have a whole family, touch people's lives, and gives hope to those who feel they have none." Alice Garlock
