About The Same Sky

This novel is an inspiring portrait of personal redemption and healing during a journey through Asia. The author makes the point quite clearly that regardless of our culture, background, or circumstances, we all face similar challenges: our feelings get hurt, we are betrayed, we are mistreated, and yet we are still able to love, be kind, and to support one another. She seamlessly weaves in the significant historical details and engaging anecdotes about the countries she experiences including Laos, Cambodia, China, and Tibet amongst others. The author’s vibrant sense of humor and profound insights not only hold the story together, but make it a joy to read.George C | Amazon

I have been putting off this review now for a few days, just so I may truly collect my thoughts. When I saw that I won this book in a giveaway contest, I was elated. Upon receiving it, I was even more excited. The other reviewer uses the word “gracefully” and that is truly the most accurate description that comes to mind. This book is written with such grace and elegance. I was amazed at the intimacy that. It was such an emotional, personal journey, and that sincerity was truly refreshing.Kristina Dixon | Good Reads

This travel journal stays authentic from beginning to end. While Debbie’s unique heritage gives us reflection on country’s differing perceptions of race, her personal stories create a connection for the reader that makes her feel like a close friend. If you love travel stories, you should try this book!Kimberly Evans | Good Reads

The author's descriptions, analogies, and insights of the countries she traveled to were very well done. I was interested in her accounts because they were all places I hope to travel to. She captured the people and their kindnesses to strangers, the peacefulness of the monasteries and monks who live in them, and the sad histories of Tibet and Laos. I also found it interesting how foreigners reacted to and were confused by the author's Canadian-Chinese looks.Jill Dobbe | Good Reads

I couldn't put this book down, the author swept me along with her on a beautiful ride to self discovery. At times I had to remind myself that it is not fiction. The author's storytelling skills are masterful as well as her description of the places where she's travelled. I looked up the images of the places she described that I haven't been to ie.ta phrom, because her descriptions were so evocative, doing so helped place me even more firmly into the world that she was writing about. They way she shared about her painful break-up to find healing through her travels was also inspirational. I highly recommend this book!!Anastasis | Amazon

Same Sky was a powerful story of traveling through some of the most amazing places on earth while experiencing some of life's greatest sorrows and joys. Chapter after chapter it's hard to put down, as you want to see where the author travels next, what the next chapter of healing will be. It's full of simple as well as complex joys, sorrows and wonderings.Renee Haridev | Amazon
