REVIEW FROM AMAZON
Reviewed in the United States on February 2, 2024
5 stars A Compelling historical fiction.
“The book is a powerful and emotional read that draws the reader into the characters’ struggles and hopes. The author does a great job of creating realistic and complex characters that are easy to relate to and care about. The book also tackles the sensitive topic of generational dysfunction, which society often ignores or misunderstands.
The book shows how trauma can be passed down from parents to children and how it can impact their mental health, relationships, and self-esteem. The author also offers a message of hope and redemption as the characters learn to overcome their past and find their own happiness.
I highly recommend this book to anyone who enjoys historical fiction, family drama, and social issues. The book is well-written, engaging, and thought-provoking. It is a read that will stay with you long after you finish reading it.

Along with the diagnosis of chronic pain, which is beyond one’s control, it can induce feelings of shame and guilt that most times come from stigma.
‘Breaking The Silence’ is an exceptional and easy-to-read guidebook that offers various tools and techniques to help those diagnosed with chronic pain or any chronic illness that involves pain as a symptom. Reading this book can help one navigate through chronic pain and overcome feelings of shame and guilt.

Debra draws on her personal experiences to provide support and hope to her readers. All her books are available on Amazon Kindle and B&N and featured on fine literary sites.
For Deb, it was not about being a survivor but learning to thrive again while easing the path for others facing their fibro challenges. The author was born and raised in Colorado and lived in Arizona until 2012, when she moved to Oregon. Meanwhile, missing her grown children and grandchildren, she moved back to Arizona in 2021. She has been featured as a guest on many podcasts and radio shows, sharing her recovery journey while raising awareness about addiction. She has maintained sobriety since 1993.
With her diagnosis of Fibro in 2005 and other medical conditions, she is committed to her recovery of healing while helping others do the same as a tireless advocate and a woman who has come out the other side of addictions, trauma, and much more as a “Survivor and Warrior.” Today, Deb is focused on writing and sharing her experiences with Fibro and chronic fatigue/pain; as heart-tugging as the downside can be, it is one of pure perseverance.
The author has been happily married to her soulmate and is a mother of two grown, successful children. She enjoys reading, painting, and traveling when not advocating, speaking, or writing. Her “#1 happy place” is spending time with all the grandchildren she adores. Deb and her husband continue to reside in Chandler, Arizona.

5-Star Editorial Book Review by Readers’ Favorite
Reviewed by Delene Vrey for Readers’ Favorite
Breaking The Silence by Deborah Morgan is aptly sub-titled Confronting Guilt and Shame in The Chronic Pain World.
Deb, who has written her memoir about living with chronic pain, identifies that many chronic pain sufferers deal with a large amount of shame and guilt due to childhood experiences and the way society at large and family view and treat those who suffer from chronic pain. She provides thought-through techniques and advice to overcome these feelings and live a successful and fulfilling life.
Being a chronic pain sufferer herself, Deb shows insight and understanding of the difficulties faced by sufferers, be it how to cope with the emotions and feelings that can lead to isolation or how to deal with family members who minimize or negate their condition. The aim of this book is to set chronic pain sufferers free from guilt and shame and cultivate open and honest communication between those affected.
Deborah Morgan has written an easy-to-read book concerning chronic pain and how to break through the silence and stigma that chronic pain sufferers face. She has first-hand experience with the topics she addresses and the tips and advice she provides. The book is written in clear and accessible language, and repetition is helpful, especially as many who suffer from chronic pain also have difficulty concentrating.
I found the chapter about the psychology behind dismissal very helpful as I am a fibromyalgia sufferer and have had much trouble understanding the way that others reacted and still react to my diagnosis. This book can be of use to any sufferer of chronic pain as well as those who want to understand their loved one who is in constant pain.
Breaking The Silence: Confronting Guilt and Shame in The Chronic Pain World does what the title implies. It helps you learn how to love yourself and communicate your feelings to those who need to understand what a pain sufferer endures to become more supportive in a healing way. Highly recommend!

Award-winning novelist Kim Carter Awarded Two 5-star Editorial Reviews For Her New Mystery Release of “The Root Of All Evil – A Clara And Iris Mystery” Series by Reader Views. . .
It was undeniable the two widows had decades of wisdom over Quita’s tender age of twenty-two, but she had something just as valuable to offer— something they’d never survive without. Street smarts and a young, tech savvy mind.
Together, the three made a valuable team, and they took advantage of every opportunity. Quita had quickly learned that nobody, not even a seasoned crook, would suspect two old women in a four-door sedan of being undercover.

Reviewed by Tammy Ruggles for Reader Views (03/2024)
“The Root of All Evil: A Clara and Iris Mystery” is the third Book in the award-winning Kim Carter mystery series, which takes murder investigation to a whole new level. Book three finds the Atlanta Police Department approaching widowed private investigators Clara and Iris with a different kind of case. They are excited to have put their first year of investigating behind them and now find themselves with a case that has been solved once.
It would have stayed solved and closed if not for the victims’ family members objecting to the jury’s findings. This challenging case is perfect for Clara and Iris and their team, as they are determined to prove that the two men behind bars for the crime were wrongly convicted of the double murder. The two women go undercover to dig into the gruesome crime, finding mystery and illusion at every turn. Worse, their lives are now in jeopardy because of the investigation.
For many reasons, Carter’s third book in the mystery series is a standout drama. One is that the plot is unpredictable. You can’t guess what’s happening, but you want to know and find your investigative instincts kicking in as you read along. I love the unique characters of Iris and Clara, two widows completely different from many PIs you may have encountered in murder mysteries. I like their tenacity and sharp wit. They just won’t let go once they sink their teeth into a case.
Carter’s style rings with authenticity, grit, and a healthy dose of humor, which holds you in suspense until the end. The fun part is that the novelist based these two lead characters after her mother and her mother’s best friend. Likewise, Carter’s life experiences inform her work, which I think adds so much to the story and characters, giving you an insider’s feel to the story. The dialogue is dynamic, and the pace is fluid.
This brief excerpt gives you an idea of the author’s succinct yet descriptive style and provides a little insight into the characters:
It was undeniable the two widows had decades of wisdom over Quita’s tender age of twenty-two, but she had something just as valuable to offer— something they’d never survive without. Street smarts and a young, techsavvy mind.
Together, the three made a valuable team, and they took advantage of every opportunity. Quita had quickly learned that nobody, not even a seasoned crook, would suspect two old women in a four-door sedan of being undercover.
If you like thoroughly entertaining, character-driven mystery novels, you will become an instant fan of the compelling “The Root of All Evil: A Clara and Iris Mystery” and its author, Kim Carter.

~ EDITORIAL BOOK REVIEW #2 ~ “The Root Of All Evil ~ Reviewed
by Terri Stepek for Reader Views (03/2024)
Author Kim Carter wows fans yet again with another great Clara and Iris Mystery, “The Root of All Evil.” If you have not had the pleasure of meeting Clara Samples and Iris Hadley, here’s a little primer.
Both are widows in their “golden years” and have enjoyed a close friendship for over 50 years. Both are intelligent in their own ways but streetwise and tech-savvy. Clara is steady, calm, reliable, and the ever-present voice of reason. Iris is… not. She’s more reactionary, hot-headed, and has no working filter for her brain-to-mouth interface. Together, they’re unstoppable. They’ve opened their own business in their twilight years and are happy with their newfound careers as private investigators.
Their case this time is already solved. Or so the Atlanta PD says, having incarcerated two men for the theft and double homicide of a wealthy Atlanta couple seven years ago. Their friend from APD, Pritchard Pitts, has asked that they look further into the former case because not everyone believes the men serving time for the crime are the guilty parties.
As they investigate the facts, this case becomes more intriguing. There are a host of fun new characters and several old favorites. Two spectacular standouts among the new faces are from a crusty old diner—what many would have called a “greasy spoon” in the day.
As Iris says it:
“This place needs more than moppin’,” she commented, rubbing her fingers across the greasy pleather of one of the booths. “It needs Jesus.”
The owner/cook, Reno, is an enigmatic character with a gruff, anti-social demeanor. How he keeps his wreck of a restaurant, the Starlight, open is a head-scratcher of a mystery.
His one and only waitress, Marigold, is verbally abused by her boss and friendly, but she’s a seriously dim bulb. Her well-meaning teachers repeatedly passed her to the next grade level so she could eventually leave school and start her inevitable minimum-wage career. Feeling sorry for Marigold when we meet her at the diner is easy.
“The Root of All Evil” is packed with mystery, intrigue, lies, and misfortune. It’s also a fun and entertaining read with stellar characters, uniquely crafted and full of warmth, charm, and wit. While Clara’s steady demeanor is wonderful and wise, it’s ‘Iris’ who steals the spotlight nearly every time. She’s what I aspire to be: the crazy old lady who can get away with doing and saying whatever she wants.
Oh, to be so free… If you think this is one of those cutesy, cozy mysteries that old ladies like to read, let me disabuse you of that notion. With “Iris” surly comments, I don’t think it could qualify as such. While it shares certain traits with such novels, it aligns more with a PI/amateur sleuth story.
Fans who enjoy sussing out the facts and attempting to solve the case will enjoy this read, as will fans of mysteries with well-honed characters. If you enjoy solid mysteries that include wit, grit, and southern charm with a touch of “bless her heart…” then this is the read for you.
Fans of author Kim Carter and the Clara and Iris Mystery series eagerly await the next installment of murder, madness, and mayhem!
