Customer Reviews

Transformational
Such a joy to read a collection of narratives and poetry that is well-organized, thoughtful, and resonates with authenticity. Dr. Cohen has produced an extraordinary work that captures human inspiration and aspiration at its very best.

A book for all.
Moving, inspirational and a book bursting with love. Reading Dr. Cohen's work has taught me much about life and its lessons. A Blessing in Disguise is a book which provides great benefit to all who read its pages.

A Gifted Book from a Gifted Poet and Doctor
A gifted book from a gifted poet, doctor, and anthologist. "A Blessing in Disguise" flows gently from its soothing cover to its final page. Cohen's poems provide lovely transitions from one author to the next. Cohen has amassed an impressive collection of stories and storytellers. The intimacy she has evoked from some of our more influential individuals is compelling and applicable.
