“Maha, I am so proud of you and I am so honored to be your friend! This book is an amazing creation. Wow, Maha, you are multi-talented. The name and cover of the book are so expressive of your main theme. Your pic and bio on the back cover are specific and to the point. I teared up when I read your dedication. It made me emotional. The Foreword by Alford was sincere and shows the appreciation of you as a person and as a doctor. The two parts I scrolled to and read were: Healthcare Workers and COVID-19 and Diabetes and COVID-19. Very interesting and it is simplified to the general readers, not just those in the medical field. It is well known that the latter is a tough job to do, but you did it! All pictures were perfectly symbolic of your point of view and extremely expressive of the situation described. My favorite picture was of the young girl wearing a mask and looking through the window. Her eyes were so tearful and sad. That picture said it all. Maha, I look forward to cuddling with the book and reading it from A to Z while feeling proud and impressed by the amazing author. Such a good book, Maha! I love you so much! Congratulations!”

We have all been through a lot during this pandemic, and what is so great about this book is that we all can relate to it, whether we suffered financially, socially, or in any other way. I highly recommend it.”
“Dear Maha, I want to let you that I read the book and it is one of the most amazing books I have ever read. I was amazed with how you described the situation perfectly. My tears started and I was not able to control myself, because it was very true what you wrote about how our life and priorities changed completely and how we lost our dreams. Thank you for your valuable time you spent to give us this great book to be witness for this history. Thank you.”
“Dear Dr. Abboud, I would like to thank you for the new book. It is great to see how this virus has changed our life from the perspective of a physician. Your book shed the light on the importance of health, family, and community coming together. I salute you for the effort and time you have put in this. Best wishes.”
“I started reading this book at night thinking I will finish it in one week. One hour later, I couldn’t leave the book and kept reading until I finished it 4 hours later. Very interesting book. As soon as you start, you don’t want to leave it, and when you feel it is almost done, you don’t want it to end.”
“Amazing. This book provides wonderful and eye-opening insight on the changing conditions of the crazy world we live in today. You could tell that the author, Dr. Maha Abboud, is a very skilled and experienced physician through the fantastic writing and ideas that she shares. The anecdotes, statistics, and facts were so interesting and enjoyable, I could hardly put it down! Would highly recommend.”
