I was given a review copy of "Sunrise From An Icy Heart" after Cladiette reached out to me on Twitter. She noticed I tweeted book reviews from other authors. The genre interested me instantly since I love memoirs and biographies.  From the start readers grow up with Claudette,  and watch her love for Linus grow while living in St. Lucia. I was intrigued by the way Claudette educated readers about the St. Lucian culture. I also admired her honesty as she spoke about her family life and her deep feelings for Linus that was shared through letters they wrote to each other. I think Claudette has a beautiful way of painting words to help readers see and feel a vividly painted picture of her life. The writing talent is definitely there. I also like the messages she shares about love,  and taking care of your health. The middle of the book did seem a little rushed and towards the end came across like a self -help book on lessons to learn when I felt those things didn't have to be mentioned because we learned that vicariously through her life story. Overall, it was a memoir told from the heart and I enjoyed it.
