Douglas R. Cobb Bestsellersworld.com
" . . . Withstanding the Lie is a collection of anecdotes, short fiction, essays, and other writings from the father daughter team of Roger & Nicole Brewer. Honest and upfront, their words tell people how the world is and inspires them to deal with the harsh realities that life puts in front of them. "Withstanding the Lie" is worth reading for anyone who feels they are a minority in their environment."
John Burroughs - Midwest Book Review
"Withstanding the Lie by father and daughter team Roger and Nicole Brewer is literally healing between the covers of a book. If you’ve ever experienced any sort of discrimination, whether it’s due to your race, religion, sex, size, physical ability, etc., and if that discrimination hurt you, made you hate, or somehow affected you so that you are unable to heal and move beyond it, then you’ll want to get a copy of Withstanding the Lie."
Diane Kidman carp(e)librisreviews.com
"Withstanding the Lie is just an exquisite piece of work, written straight from the heart! ... Great messages, and it has a fascinating structure -- mix of essays, personal reflections and short fiction (which is enhanced by the different father and daughter perspectives) -- that just really resonated with me."
Denning Powell - co-author of the books Monkey Trap and Hiding Hand.
"This is definitely a book that should help anyone who has suffered from bullying of any kind or feel they don’t 'fit in'. Roger and Nicole are really good teachers. . ."
Jessica Roberts bookpleasures.com
". . . the book is well worth the read, with interesting stories to hold a reader’s interest, and should have a wide appeal. It is full of helpful information for not only dealing with prejudice but dealing with self-esteem issues."
