Recenzii

"This may be the most moving story you will ever read." -- Sunday Telegraph
"In Wordjazz for Stevie, Chamberlain writes with such brutal honesty that readers can't avoid a sense of intruding on some intensely private family matters. Yet there's also a mighty gratitude that he shares so much. The lessons he learned, the conclusions he reached, may help others to face their own big challenges. To the best of my knowledge, I've never met this author, but reading Wordjazz for Stevie conjures an illusion that I've known him for decades. Surely, only a close pal would express so much from deep inside his heart. At times, some readers may need to set aside the book, so powerful are its emotions. But no one should regret reading it - not for a moment." -- Cairns Media Magazine
