New Release REVIEWS Only for Author, Joe Siccardi and His New Book “My Name Is Sam” …The Novel Follow-Up of ‘Heaven Shining Through.”
….
ABOUT THE NEW BOOK:
Sit down with a cup of coffee or a nice wine and visit with Sam as she shares a lifetime of memories in this new Christian-themed fictional memoir. My Name Is Sam … and Heaven Is Still Shining Through is a follow-up to the breakout novella, Heaven Shining Through. It introduces Sam (Samantha), her family and friends in more detail than the original, and picks up where the novella left off. I hope readers get to know Sam as a friend, a life long friend. Share her life … complete with some drama, some humor, some heart tugs. Just a free-willed suburban Jersey girl trying to figure out this journey called life with the presence of God in her ordinary life as the underlying theme.

READERS, BOOK BLOGGERS, and REVIEWERS:
Goodreads:
Amy rated it … “It was amazing” ~ July 9, 2019
My Name Is Sam … and Heaven Is Still Shining Through is another fabulous read by Joe Siccardi.
This is an amazing light Christian based fictional memoir about Sam and her life struggles. It is quite an emotional but yet inspiring journey. I enjoyed getting to know Sam and seeing how she was able to cope with her life struggles. I give My Name Is Sam … and Heaven Is Still Shining Through five-plus stars.
I highly recommend Sam’s story to all other readers.
I loved it! I received this book from the author but was not required to write a review.

Mary rated it on Goodreads ~ Aug. 3, 2019
I give 5 stars to “My Name is Sam…and Heaven Is Still Shining Through,” a fictional memoir, written by Joe Siccardi. This is a great book! I felt like it started a bit slow, just (my opinion) too many conversations, but about a quarter of the book later, I was hooked!
Our main character, of course, is Sam. The author starts the story in her college days but gives us plenty of glimpses of her younger years also. When Sam meets the love of her life, we are able to follow their marriage, the heartache of breaking various news to both sets of parents, and watching the choices that they all make as they are combining families.
Sam shares her decisions and rationalizations with us as we fall in love with her! We get to follow her throughout her life, share in her joys and sorrows, (yes, I am being intentionally vague, sorry). All the while we are knowing that God is on His throne, and nothing will happen in Sam’s life without His knowing.
I don’t want to say too much and give away the storyline, but I can say, if you don’t pick up this book, you will be missing out. I feel like the back of the book really doesn’t do the story justice! My Name is Sam, is a clean story. I think it would be suitable for teens and up. It is an easy read and a must-read! (This review contains my own opinions.)

July 1, 2019. ~Amazon Reviewer
While there is a Christian worldview to the book, it isn’t preachy and the focus stays on navigating the joys and sorrows of life. Some laughter, some tears, which is my personal preference in a book. The characters were reasonably developed and authentic. Definitely recommend reading, especially for a beach read this summer or fall reading!
……..
Editorial Media Amazon Review:
Exceptional Fiction Memoir … If you happened to have read Author Joe Siccardi’s debut book of “Heaven Shining Through” like I did, then you are going to enjoy reading this new full-length novel, the follow-up and the full story about the main character ‘Samantha,’ actually the backstory to her life. The perils and the fun of Sam’slife, if you will, is written, flows, and is told as if you and Sam are sitting in a coffee shop and reminiscing about life memories. It’s a definite 5 stars!
…….
Right from the first chapter, the author draws you in, and as I was reading, I felt as though I was reading about my own life and primarily through my 20s of meeting friends at a dance club mixing it up over some drinks and having fun. But that is just the tip of the story iceberg of Sam’slife. With a Christian filter, the story unfolds, and Sam begins to learn that Gods presence has always been within her life as she looks back and even when she was never aware.
When a writer makes you feel apart of the story, it means a great job with the writing was accomplished which is offered in this novel and so much more. By the time you learn all about Sam’s life, you will wish she was real as you could be life-long friends! This read has a little of everything about relationships, marriage, even parenting trials. The mother and daughter drama, some humor, and a few tissue moments are a few of the highlights.
Even though Sam has gone through some perils and beauty in her life through the years, Sam is consistently reminded that even in the worst of days, God has always been with her in protection and love through her life storms and as well as all the good life brings.
Just a fantastic read for anyone, especially for women. Even though it is a work of fiction, it reads like a real-life story if you enjoy memoirs or a unique fictional biography.

……..
Maureen Scanlon Life Coaching Visits Good Morning AZ – Sonoran Living.
Most of us go through our daily routines oblivious to the beauty of life and others around us-oblivious of the impact we have on the world. So it’s only natural that we consider patterning ourselves after our pets!
These beautiful furry creatures are fully connected to their highest selves while giving unconditional love to those who cherish and care for them. By taking our lead from the animals in our lives, we learn how to live our best and fullest lives as well.
The book, My Dog is More Enlightened Than I Am, examines the ways we all struggle and experience difficulties in our journey. You will learn to understand the lessons and meaning behind each past moment you have endured thus far and how to change your mindset and focus on the change you can make.
You will come to admire the ways our animals live a life of purpose and how to be more like them. The author will show you through her own past experiences as well as those she coaches, that real change is possible and your best life is NOW!
……
…..
This heartfelt, enlightening guide also offers tips on relaxation, spontaneity, developing an appreciation for our differences, caretaking, and nurturing relationships. Readers will feel a renewed sense of well-being and knowledge of how to embrace the journey like the pure souls of our furry companions.

LIFE COACHING REVIEWS ~ TESTIMONIALS
……
Jill G. 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟
“Maureen is a very delightful, positive, uplifting and motivating life coach. She quickly identified my concerns about a romantic relationship and the overall stagnation of my life. Instead of giving me directed advice, she drew out from me the strategy I needed for change. Her style is reassuring when confronting the uncertainty of change and she facilitated how to reframe that fear into excitement. I love working with Maureen!
She’s very spiritual without being at all pushy. She has a good head on her shoulders and a natural knack for this line of work. I look forward to having her support through this time and in the future as I continue and explore how to actualize my potential and live a happier and more fulfilling life.” HIGHLY RECOMMEND HER!
Robyn F. 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟
“Maureen gave the perfect encouragement and guidance for those tough situations that felt like they were beyond my control. Her energy and passion for life are an absolute boost every time I get to see her because she genuinely loves everyone she meets. If you’re looking for a life coach who gives you her all, you’ve found her!!
I absolutely recommend her services!
Del C. 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟
Maureen was able to help me put my past in perspective and focus on my future, and what in my future is the most important for me. She has done it herself and she has helped me see what my personal potential is, making the tough, hard decisions, and choices that are in my best interest. She has helped me with those decisions and choices, that are the most important for me and my well being. Thank you, “Coach”
