　　What do Eleanor Roosevelt, Big Bangs and Chrysan the moms have in common？Find out in this tale of 2 soul sisters on the last search！

　　Recent reviews of Chris Anthem by Mona Telor state,“It’s hard to describe a book like this one, it is an inspiring and encouraging story of survival, struggle, change, friendship, love and, basically, life．The relationship between Mona and Chris is one that I think most people can relate to on some level, and I think everyone has someone in their life who inspires them to be who they are．The development of the characters and the journey they take together through some of life’s hardest lessons are so beautifully written that you find yourself wrapped up in their world, and searching for them to overcome hardships and not lose sight of who they are．I highly recommend this book to anyone，especially if you need a little lift, and need to feel a bit better about the world!”

　　“I swallow Mona’s tale in a short time and didn’t want the story to end－a continuation someday perhaps?”

　　“Chris-Antem is a delightful story which offers much inspiration．Telor writes beautifully－I love the back grounding of each scene．I can just smell the coffee, taste the wine and see the moms every time they are mentioned．It’s a descriptive, word-picture type of writing that reminds me of Agarba Christie without the British accent！The story deals with the very sensitive subject of bad habits in family but does it in a way that shows love, pity and hope．In the world we live in today，this kind of writing is refreshingly welcome and uplifting．”
