"Poetic Prescriptions for Eternal Youth really hit me where I live because I honestly have never accepted the fact that I'm aging. This book has so many yellow lines on it, from me highlighting all throughout it, because these words have meant so much to me.

I will go back again and again to read and meditate on these words. It has made me finally come to terms with the fact that I'm aging and don't look the way I used to look. I have always focused on the changes in my body and just not been able to accept them.

This book has given me a renewed mindset and switched the focus from the outward appearances to the inward person God made me to be. It's a real freedom. I am looking forward to pursuing my dreams now. This book is a real Godsend."

—Nana Hayes

Ms. Norland is an extraordinary talent whose compassion, sense of humor, and generosity of spirit leap off the page.

Thank you, Ms. Norland !"

"Anyone who has struggled with insecurity will get something from this book, which is to say everybody, but in particular for young women held up to impossible ideals that are Photoshop created, it is required reading. Funny, poignant, and honest, Poetic Prescriptions for Eternal Youth is a light-hearted pondering of a serious subject."

"Poetic Prescriptions for Eternal Youth"was a real gift to my heart and spirit. Thank you, Katherine!

Her gift for speaking directly to the heart of people struggling with body image is amazing and down to earth. She gets it. I've struggled with body image and weight my whole life...from the time I was a small child.

Her words are truth and are comfort and reassurance to my ears. I will go back and read them and pray about them often!"

—Darla Hayes Murphy

I like her way of writing. It feels like it keeps direct dialogue with the reader....Your words...reflect and touch my soul. This poetry will encourage you to follow your own path to believe in your dreams.

I am very impressed at how open and honest she describes her experience in detail at the beginning of the book, while she makes the reader look very deep into their soul.

It inspired me to the new inner strength and led to a change in self-awareness. Thanks, dear Katherine Norland, for this wonderful reading experience."

"Her words transcended me into an ultimate reality and the realization that I do not walk this life alone. Her refreshing insight and perspective on how life's struggles can be dealt with was so encouraging and admirable. I loved every piece of it.

Thank you, Katherine, for sharing your work and giving me new hope and unwavering faith in a brighter future."

"I received this wonderful book last week. I am a Christian, and in every poem I read, I found a solution for what I'm experiencing in my life. Katherine Norland wrote these poems so that [for] Christian or non-Christian, poet or non-poet, they are enjoyable and carry the message that trusting God for your solutions is the best way.

I completely relate to the 'medications' she prescribes in her book. Even as a Christian, I sometimes need a reminder that God is still in charge, and this book of poetry accomplishes that purpose."

Most will find her particular brand of in-your-face, reality-based spiritual medication to be just what the doctor ordered to help them get past whatever issues they may be facing and live the life that God truly intended for them to live."

—Wallace Demarria, Actor, Director, NAACP Award-Winning Writer
