Anette’s story is an empowering example of what we can overcome when we redefine what true healing and living means.
The strength of this work is your presence, your voice, your honesty, and your wisdom. You’re a gifted writer who has been to the edge and lived to tell about it. Reading your memoir is like reading a novel of courage and survival.
I’ve read a lot of memoirs about women who got caught in bad relationships, but few are as honest, sharp, and ultimately uplifting as this one. This is a book about what happens when you stop trying to be perfect and start telling the truth.
Anette Nilsson’s Soul-Happy is a must-read, brilliantly written memoir that demystifies the connection between the soul and physical healing. Her harrowing journey will leave an indelible mark on your own soul. From cover to cover, I couldn’t put it down.
With penetrating candor and searing insight, Anette Nilsson, a gifted writer, explores her profound experience of self-denial, illness, loss and grief as an entry point into understanding the breakdown of her own life and body. . . . a raw and real read through Nilsson’s journey of being broken open to uncover the ways in which truth heals and love and forgiveness can be received.
This is a memoir of sharp contrasts and deep truths: Denmark and America, privilege and loss, health and illness, falling apart and finding one’s way back. What shines brightest is Nilsson’s hard-won courage and resilience. Her story is both deeply personal and broadly resonant for anyone navigating loss and reinvention.
Anette’s story is a page-turner detailing a journey of physical, emotional, and spiritual growth. An engaging and easy-to-read memoir that empowers us all to remember healing is possible.
