Sally is currently working on several very exciting books due for release in 2009; we can't wait to tell you all about them. Here are some of the kind things people said about Sophie's Journey:
Kellie Connolly, The Today Show (Channel 9) -- "Let me give you a word of warning before you pick up this book. Make sure you read it in private and make sure you have nowhere to go. I was in tears and just couldn't put it down. It's actually not a depressing read. In fact, I found it quite inspirational. Certainly it puts your own problems in perspective. It's called Sophie's Journey, but it is actually the story of so many people's lives, from the childcare workers, to the rescuers, to Sophie's doctors. The accidents impacted on so many people's lives. In turn, Sophie's inspiration story has given so many other people strength. I can guarantee it won't be gathering dust on your bedside table. It's a page turner."

Posted by Kylie. Sunday, 6 May 2007 @ 1:30 AM -- "I saw this on the Today Show and saw her dad talking and decided to go and buy it. I finally bought it on Thursday and now its Saturday, and I have just finished it. OMG. I never thought I would stop crying. And just like that lady from the Today Show said it is not really depressing. It is just so amazing Sophie survived and is happy. I hope she gets this message and survives everything that life is going to keep throwing at her. Incredible story. I really loved it."

For those who have followed Sophie's story it helps you realise what those around her went through in order to save this precious little girl not once but twice. It made you feel so proud of those that helped her and also of Sophie and her family. Recommended to all."

Posted by Miranda. Tuesday, 1 May 2007 @ 7:14 PM -- "I simply couldn't put this book down. Talk about inspiring! I've recommended it to all my friends."
Posted by Stacey. Tuesday, 1 May 2007 @ 7:03 PM -- "What a heart wrenching story. I had tears in my eyes many times. Remember to have a tissue box handy when reading!"
Posted by Tina. Sunday, 29 April 2007 @ 12:00 AM -- "I really enjoyed it. It was so sad in some parts. I had never thought of all the people who were involved."
Posted by krystal. Tuesday, 24 April 2007 @ 12:00 AM -- "it was a fantastic book to read and it made me realise what actually happened to her and what she went through"
Guy Sebastian (Australian pop star), on his forum -- "I purchased this book yesterday (many of you know I'm a strong Sophie supporter) expecting I'd need a box of tissues. In many places yes.. but I can truthfully say it's the most inspirational book I've ever read. Proceeds from the book largely go to hospitals and the Delezio Day of Difference Foundation. Sophie's Journey gets ***** (5 stars) from me."
