What People Are Saying

This book took my breath away. Lynn is authentic, courageous, smart, and filled with heart. She is brave to bare her soul, knowing it will help people everywhere. I think of that young girl, sister, woman, wife, and mother reading Lynn’s book and how they might appreciate that they, too, can—and will—overcome life’s obstacles and emerge with spirit, love, resilience, and purpose.

An extraordinary story about one woman overcoming multiple traumas through unrelenting resilience. I’m confident many people are going to see themselves in at least one part of her story and as a result, experience healing and inspiration.

I loved this book and could not put it down. Lynn has lived a life that has thrown her some unbelievably cruel and damaging experiences. In each chapter, she points out lessons you can learn from. I advise keeping a pen and paper handy when you read. How Lynn has come through all this turmoil and evolved into an extraordinary woman full of love, kindness, and compassion is astounding. She teaches us to accept, grow, and learn from what life throws at us.

Walking Through Pain to Purpose is a story of pain, turmoil, resilience, joy, and triumph. Lynn tells her story with vulnerability and candor in a way that anyone can relate to. Every page left me wanting more. She tenderly gives dignity to the unique beauty of children with autism and other developmental disorders. This book truly shows the beauty and strength of the human spirit.

Lynn Balter’s memoir, Walking Through Pain to Purpose, is an extraordinary journey that allows us to reflect on our own lives. Our triumphs, our sorrows, and most importantly, the reality that we each control our destiny in how we live and the power of the actions we take. That perseverance is the key to creating the life we want. A true page turner.

Walking Through Pain to Purpose is captivating, heartwarming, and inspiring. Lynn presents her own personal journey as she finds purpose and strength through her own pain. This book will motivate you to tap into your own strength and encourage you with the hope and faith we all need to get though life’s most difficult times.

This memoir is a masterpiece. From the moment I picked it up, I couldn’t put it down. That Lynn could endure so much pain and come out the other end with such resilience and beauty is amazing. She’s experienced life like no other. Her honesty is staggering. Bravo!

This book has hit a nerve and will be successful. A profound personal journey of survival, transcendence, and a deep observation of humanity. It will challenge and transform our beliefs and reframe what it means to live a truly inspired life.

Reading this book was like watching a really good movie. It resonates so much that you can’t seem to get it out of your head! The author’s frank storytelling was even therapeutic. Lynn Balter is accomplishing amazing and positive changes. This book is captivating and brutally honest.

A POWERFUL read! It’s like my own life kept getting in the way, and all I wanted to do was read Lynn’s book! She is a walking MIRACLE.

Lynn Balter has opened up her soul to us so we could see the crossroads and struggles she went through, yet through her faith and perseverance, she did not allow herself to just lie down. A true endorsement of what one can overcome and still win.

When well-being and happiness don’t come along in our lives, we can get stuck in the past and suffer every day, or we can keep going with positivism, knowing our own limitations to moving forward. Walking Through Pain to Purpose is proof of moving forward while giving back to family, others, and community. Lynn feels the pain and walks through it to be healed and create a higher purpose. In the overwhelming demands of life, she shows how to find a path to inner peace and balance.

I read and consumed every page of this book. I can identify with the author’s unhealthy unconscious habits and was deeply affected. I’m trying to incorporate some of the lessons she teaches. I couldn’t put it down.

Wow! This memoir shows people not to judge because there’s a lot going on in other people’s lives that we can’t see. Many will relate, including those with successful husbands. Everyone’s life has pain, but you can learn and grow from it.

A very meaningful and intimate look at this author’s life’s journey. Her story helped me understand that I can turn the page and use the tragedy of losing my husband into something more positive.

I love this book. Lynn’s vulnerability and journey to find herself is amazing. Her story is something anyone can appreciate and relate to. Her experiences and insights could really help a lot of women who have no idea where to begin or what to do. I want my daughter to read this book.

I couldn’t put this book down. I loved Lynn’s writing about growing up in a rough neighborhood, her college years, her independence to move across the country, her business ventures, her dad, her brother’s accident. She had me in tears about her hospital exam after rape. This story shows how a woman learned to stand up, have a voice, and set boundaries. Such good writing! An incredible person.

I stayed up until 1:00 a.m. reading this book. Wow, is it moving! Made me very emotional. I felt like I was there with Lynn through each story. Many people will relate.

This book taught me how scared I’ve been to confront the past, and how I’ve been ignoring the present. Thank you for awakening, if only a small part of me, which has allowed me to recognize this and start verbalizing it.

Lynn Balter’s book is so courageous. Like her, I’ve found myself all too often stepping into many situations and taking charge, trying to fix other people’s problems, but those were distractions that allowed me to avoid fixing myself. I’ve also known many who made millions of dollars per year and had expensive toys and trips, but luxury does not create happiness. Only love, affection, and mutual respect for each other does.

Wow! I found this book deeply moving. Thank you to Lynn for sharing her story. It has inspired me to take heed to her message and reassess my own personal journey.

I couldn’t put this book down. With all the trials and tribulations Lynn has dealt with in her lifetime, it’s remarkable that she’s able and willing to share these moments with others. I applaud her strength and wisdom.

Wow! This book touched me so much! Lynn fully took me to wherever she was on her journey. I can’t tell you how many books I put down and never finish because they seemed clinical or didn’t grab my attention. This memoir was as passionate and raw as my favorite Author, Iyanla Vanzant, that got me through many troubled times in my life.

The writing in this memoir is really strong and compelling. I never got bored.

I loved the honesty and vulnerability in this memoir. The first chapter had me shaking. I laughed and cried a lot.

By being completely open and honest about her life, Lynn will help those struggling with experiences of rape, family dysfunctions, raising a child with autism, time management, or many other life problems.

Lynn has shared the most intimate details of her life story in such a captivating way. It’s impossible to put her book down!  This riveting story takes the reader on a journey through real life events that you can’t even imagine!

Don’t know how Lynn bared her soul like this, but she has, and it’s amazing how she guides us on her journey to find love and purpose in her life, despite numerous obstacles. A journey that everyone can relate to and find meaning in their own lives through the experience.

It’s hard not to let her words sit with you. Everything she says, you feel. She’s shared her heart for the good in all of us. Lynn you make a difference.
