The US Review of Books commends “Lessons” by Hawkeye because the author “offers a useful insight to readers about how one can love somebody unconditionally without limits”

Life throws us all crises, and they can rock us to our core. One thing is certain: life will inflict sorrow, misery, and hurt on us. When this happens, we frequently try to bear the agony on our own. However, this merely adds to the hurt and pain. It’s easy to feel as if our emotional agony is too much to bear. Is it then necessary to let go of the past? Your history does not have to be a determining factor in your future. You may stop the regretful voice in your head, find serenity, and start over.

Regrets. We’ve all got them. We all experience regret at some point in our lives because we all make mistakes. We yearn to set things right – to alter course, to start over, whether it was last week or last year. The good news is that you may break free from the “sorry cycle” of regret and longing. Give yourself the chance to redeem your regrets so that you can see something positive emerge from your life’s worst failures. Yes, it is possible to learn to live beyond regrets.

Amanda Hanson of the US Review of Books acknowledged Hawkeye’s book, “Lessons,” focuses on his early life with his mother and how she abused him mentally and physically. He also speaks about his marriage to his wife. In his poetry, he focuses on the people he meets and their life situations. Hawkeye’s mother never showed him love and regarded him as an outsider his entire life. He wishes he could have felt a loved one’s loving touch.

He tells the story of a woman whose mother died and who expressed the yearning to feel her mother’s touch once more. Hawkeye’s connection with his wife was influenced by his mother’s treatment of him. Throughout his story, he expresses regret for hurting her and wishes he could go back in time. God, on the other hand, guided him to realize that he should no longer dwell on the past. Things can be done better in the future.

Here’s an excerpt from the review written by the US Review of Books’ Amanda Hanson that highlights:

“Hawkeye provides an honest, deep dive into his marriage and past relationships. He carefully points out how his wife has been patient with him throughout their journey together. The author offers a useful insight to readers about how one can love somebody unconditionally without limits. For example, his wife never gave up on their marriage. Hawkeye explores the theme of patience and how it helped them navigate their lives. Each time they encountered a bump on the road, his spouse was patient enough for both of them. Indeed, the proverbial phrase “Patience is a virtue” totally applies in this context. Hawkeye’s work conveys the overall message that one should not take a loved one for granted. Life is too short. From the beginning, the author offers the readers his truth and does not hold back. Readers will appreciate the author’s honesty and profound initiative to share his personal experiences with them.”
