Praise & Reviews:
"[Let me say that Maria nailed the whole church society thing. Nailed it . . . It was refreshing for me . . . to see Chloe's take on things and to realize our dilemmas weren't so very different and the way she ultimately chose to handle things is my goal."
--Mormon Mommy Writers blog
"Compelling fiction . . . I also appreciated the rich tone of the author's writing. Her voice has a level of maturity to it that appeals to someone like me who reads an awful lot and is refreshed to see unique turns of phrase."
--Tristi Pinkston, author of the Secret Sisters Mystery series
"The story is simple, and yet it's not.This book just gives you a ton to think about . . . And if that isn't enough, Hoagland's writing is pristine. Take it from a picky reader who likes to know what's going on and likes beauty in the writing of the books she reads and isn't fond of silly mistakes."
--Melissa Lemon, author of Cinder and Ella
"The title of this book obviously relates to the diabetic elements of the story but more subtly is also references how the women involved in the story 'nourish & strengthen' one another. I liked how Chloe and her group of friends were able to lean on each other and gather strength from their friendships . . . Nourish & Strengthen is a unique story, depicting the struggles of diabetes as well as the physical and emotional toll it can have. It is also a surprisingly insightful look at how attitude plays a huge role in our everyday struggles and how developing a positive outlook can help us accept and overcome trials."
--The Book Bug
"My attitude changed as I witnessed [Chloe's] growth. I honestly felt stronger after finishing the book. I felt like if faced with a challenge I could overcome and deal with it."
