MY REVIEW
And She Was Never The Same Again is a multigenerational memoir by Natasha Pryde Trujillo. Each chapter is a glimpse into the life of Natasha’s family. These touching and, at times, heart wrenching chapters share some of the happy and the sad moments in her life.
I don’t read a lot of nonfiction, but I am very glad I made an exception with And She Was Never The Same Again. Some moments felt familiar to me and some moments brought tears to my eyes. I find that most books have a little somethin’ somethin’ in them for everyone. It may bring for the a memory of your own, about your grandmother, your father, your sister, your brother…
And She Was Never The Same Again is thought provoking and once I started reading I didn’t want to stop.
I voluntarily reviewed a free copy of And She Was Never The Same Again by Natasha Pryde Trujillo.
“Dr. Trujillo has done an exceptional job of opening her life of grief and loss for her audience to experience. The intentional nature in which this book is written provides a welcome comfort of hope. Her words encourage her audience to look at those ‘isms’ we humans all own and instead of wanting to avoid seeing them, to look at them and learn how to navigate and accept; especially when it is too late to share those sentiments when you could have.” —Feathered Quill Book Reviews
Book Description:
And She Was Never the Same Again is about you. It is about your family and your friends, everyone you’ve ever met, and all the strangers you have yet to meet.
It takes you on a journey of gains and losses that stretch generations, cultures, identities, and decades of time. It awakens you to the inevitable and makes you look at things most people want to avoid seeing. It explores near-death experiences; medical, individual, and intergenerational trauma; the stigmatized death of a partner; perfectionism; athletics; first loves; and the gaping holes that become permanent fixtures within us when those we love the most die.
You will feel, you will learn, you will grown, and you will never be the same again.

It was so much better than I thought.
I felt this one too, Sherry.
Isn’t that cover gorgeous and so appropriate for the story inside.
