Chelsea grew up with an immense love for words--both reading them and writing them. She obtained her degree in English and has spent the time since then getting married to her high school sweetheart and chasing adventure so she'll have something to write about. When she's not drinking copious amounts of coffee while writing, she spends her time reading, playing with her puppy named Gatsby, and dreaming, always dreaming."


My review;
Happy to be Alive, Because  by Chelsea Jacobs is very feeling and full of love and hope. Avery is a young girl who has lost her mother a very short time ago and she is having a very hard time dealing with her loss. She learns things about her mother that she never knew. This book is a journey of life and realizing that we should all be happy to be alive and to help others share that feeling. I felt as if I could feel all of the feelings that Avery did because of this author's wonderful writing. I believe that this book would be a great book for someone to read who has suffered a loss. I give this book a 4/5. I was given this book by Litfuse Publicity Group and all opinions are my own.
