It’s not just the pain in the head, and that in itself can be unbearable. It’s all the other symptoms: nausea, vomiting, vertigo, sensitivity to light, fatigue and the list goes on. Not every migraine sufferer experiences the same symptoms, but the pain, the fatigue, and sensitivity to light are pretty universal. Research has concluded that migraine is an actual disease, not just a bad headache that women might experience during their monthly cycle. And, the frightening thing about migraines is that those people who suffer migraines are more prone to having strokes. Research continues on migraines and there are certainly a number of drugs available to alleviate the symptoms, but it doesn’t cure the disease and, like all other drugs, there are side effects. So, what’s the alternative? Well, research has also linked certain foods as triggers to migraines. Eating healthily has been the best cure-all for other ailments, so why not for migraines as well? To understand and appreciate better the effect food has as a migraine trigger, Lydia Lin, also a migraine sufferer, shares her research and the recipes she’s developed in her book, Tame Migraine the Delicious Way: A Cookbook with Diet Suggestions for Migraineurs. There is a lot of useful and very helpful information in this book and I learned a lot about my own migraine condition from reading it. The book is well laid out, beginning with the author’s own experiences with migraines and following through her research and findings. Although there are other triggers to migraines, like stress and barometric pressure, the key one is food and the author lists the most common food triggers. She also lists foods that benefit and help prevent migraines. In fact, most of the book is recipes that she has created to help her own migraine management. Considering everyone has slightly different dietary issues (and possibly food allergies and intolerances) perhaps all of the recipes are not suitable for everyone. The recipes are well laid out, allowing the reader to use each one as a basis to create their own recipes using ingredients that they can consume. A wonderful guide and resource for migraine sufferers. This is a real treasure.” – Reviewed By Emily-Jane Hills Orford for Readers’ Favorite

Although dimly aware of the complex political background which surrounds her, Trudy’s interests are focussed mainly on the multi-national school she attends, the companions she meets there and the development of her first deeply emotional relationship beyond her family. Directed at the teen and young adult reader, the pace of the narrative is completely appropriate for the content and presents interesting and engaging material. The narrative style also suits the subject, without being too simplistic. The main character is particularly well-defined, her perceptions adding a piquant dimension to the accounts of her daily routine and her tourist experiences. Many of the secondary characters also are vibrant and alive, often carrying the theme of the regional political confrontations to come. The novel is generally well-constructed and builds firmly towards the single climax when Trudy, by default, becomes directly involved in her best friend’s nationalistic affiliations. My Fatima by Lydia Lin draws a reader’s attention, opens a door slightly into the ordinary lives of people in the Middle East and offers an enjoyable reading experience in general.” You can learn more about Lydia Lin and “My Fatima” at https://readersfavorite.com/book-review/my-fatima where you can read reviews and the author’s biography, as well as connect with the author directly or through their website and social media pages.

A heartwarming and educational tale of historical fiction, exemplifying events in the little-known history of the Island of Formosa. Good characterizations and intriguing, empathetic characters populate the novel.” Mallory A. Haws: The Haunted Reading Room Reviews
