Welcome to Lori Carol Maloy's Book Reviews and Articles Blog

There’s something timeless and healing about a story that reaches in and touches your heart. As a therapist and writer, I’m drawn not only to heartfelt and cozy fiction, but also to suspense novels—those unexpected places where hidden truths and deep emotional struggles often reveal themselves beneath the surface of plot twists and intrigue.
Many of the stories I review explore themes of growth, healing, and the quiet resilience of the human spirit. Alongside fiction, you’ll also find non-fiction articles on emotional wellness, self-care, and personal growth—gentle reflections meant to support you wherever you may be on your journey.
You’ll notice that posts are organized into categories—from book reviews to self-help and healing (under Human Behavior)—so you can easily browse what speaks to you in the moment. And here and there, you may find quiet nuggets of faith and hope woven through the words like gentle lights on the path.
I invite you to read with an open heart. Choose a piece that meets you where you are. Whether you're seeking encouragement, insight, or simply a soft place to land, I hope this space offers what your soul needs.
Let’s journey together through words that soothe, surprise, and remind us that healing is found not only in story—but also in truth, grace, and shared humanity.
