My 5-Star review in entirety posted at Amazon for 'Rainbows and Clouds' by Erika M. Szabo:

This diverse collection of heartwarming stories spans 84 pages divided into well-defined segments. Every single relatable story affirms the author’s premise, “Life is Smiles and Tears”.

I enjoyed each anecdote in “Stories about My Furry Friends”.

“Stories from a Nurse” elicited chuckles as well as a surge of emotion for Little Johnny.

In “Stories to Tickle Your Funny Bone,” we can all relate to going the distance in our childhood by accepting a dare, no matter how scared we might be -“Full Moon Dare”. There’s no telling what extreme measures we’ll take for a special occasion, either – “The Birthday Cake”.

I dug my heels in the last segment, “The Darker Side, Reality, and Dreams”: “Perfect Family” will make you think twice about envying the so-called picture-perfect life of others.

I highly recommend ‘Rainbows and Clouds’ for its life-affirming stories told with sincerity and candor.
