Tehminé Grigorian grew up in a small village in Armenia in the 1980s. Her young life was not an easy one. It involved not only watching her mother suffer the abuse the her first and second husbands, but Tehminé also was savagely beaten by her stepfather. Despite the years being unkind to her, she never stopped fighting.
In Your Past Can’t Break You, life coach and motivational speaker Tehminé Grigorian takes you along with her as she talks about her life path and how each step showed her how to be strong, survive and love..not only herself, but eventually her abusers.
Each chapter is divided into two parts. The first part tells the story of standout moments within Tehminé’s life when circumstances could have brought about a life of struggling and turmoil. The second part of the chapter is the author explaining how the right decisions, attitude and perspective can turn any setback into a step forward in one’s own life.

This page-turning account of one individual’s experience turns out to be about all of our lives, because the illuminating realizations this author share in every single chapter can be applied to every single one of our own stories.
Tehminé Grigorian has mastered the art of survival and shares her insights with the world in her first book. And for that reason…

A couple times a year, I get emails from authors asking me to review their book. Most of the time the book has nothing to do with music, let alone the Beatles and I graciously decline for those reasons. As a part-time publicist, I understand how hard it is to get someone to notice your book, especially if it’s self-published. So when the request came to read 
Again, while on Amazon, I was taken in by another of their suggestions. I was just a couple years younger than Andrew McCarthy and the rest of the Brat Pack in their heyday! So of course I had to buy a (used) copy of 
McCarthy has moved on to TV directing in shows such as Orange is the New Black and Blacklist. (The Blacklist connection with his old pal James Spader from Pretty in Pink is interesting because unlike McCarthy, Spader will not talk about that film!) If you’re interested (maybe not?), Andrew McCarthy has actually written two other books (one on travel and one a young adult novel) that were New York Times bestsellers (who knew?!). You can find them on 
A little over a month ago, I attended a local women’s event called 
Well, as you may have discovered by now, I can’t get enough of reading about Ernest Hemingway and so it should be no surprise that I’m going to review
