what reviewers are saying about "His eyes":

  “... because it was not just about a brother and son dying but covered so much more: humor, playfulness, honor, faith, addiction, forgiveness, and deep love." - Reader

 "A powerful reminder that there’s always a path to hope, even in the darkest moments." - Reader 

 “I found myself looking for Michael, Lucas, and Strike and the places they went on their adventure as I drove around my own town."  - Reader

  “The spiritual dimension gives the story its emotional anchor. The transition from haunting memories to experiencing God’s comforting presence through the symbolic image of loving eyes creates a meaningful arc of healing and faith. Readers who seek stories of redemption, resilience, and spiritual reassurance will likely find themselves deeply moved by the honesty and vulnerability woven throughout the narrative.” - Booktok advisor for authors

 "The story is told from Michael's viewpoint, although diary extracts written by Mom are interspersed throughout and show her struggle more poignantly, as she tries desperately to come to terms with her loss. Michael is a character of strength who, despite his part in the accident, the fact he's being bullied at school and his constant worrying about his mom, shows him to be a boy growing into a man, his circumstances requiring him to be mature and the crutch that his mother needs to survive. God's light and the message that "You're never alone" is the backbone of the book, which provides comfort to Michael as he comes to terms with where his life has taken him. But more than that, it is not the love of God that is overtly pushed on you in this book; it is how His love is shown through the goodness of heart in everyday folk. This is shown most prominently in the interlude that Michael and his friend, Lucas have with a homeless man named Strike.
This story was a real heart-warmer with good core values accentuated at the center." - Professional Book Reviewer  

"I loved the way you held grief—with such clarity and gentleness. Through Michael and his mother, you offered something that feels increasingly rare: an intimate glimpse into personal sorrow and the ways it shapes the relationships around it. Michael comes across as respectful, loyal, and emotionally perceptive in a way that never feels forced. The tone of the book is clean, grounded, and healthy to be in. What moved me most was the way you captured the emotional layers that follow an accidental loss: shame, guilt, fear, overwhelming loss. Then you gently showed how healing can take place. The presence of friends, neighbors, small acts of kindness, music, nature, and especially the repeated, quiet experience of God.
 By the end, I found myself wanting to be part of Michael’s world, to know these people, to sit with them, to offer comfort." - Professional Life Coach
