With the energy, warmth, and candor that have made her an on-air and on-line phenomenon, Delilah, radio's fastest-rising evening host, offers her more than seven million listeners a book that powerfully dramatizes her message of love as life's first priority.

From Publishers Weekly

A syndicated radio personality who listens nightly to callers' stories of love and selects music specifically for them, Delilah laughs, cries and counsels from her Seattle studio. Over a lengthy career in radio, she has developed her own style, telling listeners and now readers heartfelt, down-to-earth stories from her own life. Her warmth and open-mindedness along with an unusually full life make her more than qualified to convey the principle that "when love is involved, there are no insignificant acts... every time you love someone even a little bit, something gigantic happens." Here, Delilah, a white woman, tells of her wild youth, of family relationships both difficult and loving, addiction recovery, her biracial son from her first marriage to an African-American man, her years of single motherhood, her three adopted African-American children and two more children with her current husband, who is Hispanic and nine years her junior. She writes about losing jobs, money, relationships, friends, homes and a beloved brother who died in a plane crash. Sharing her faith in God without evangelizing any particular religion, Delilah organizes her thoughts around Bible passages even nonbelievers know, such as "To everything there is a season." She muses over birth, death, planting, mourning, laughing, dancing, silence, gathering strength and breaking down. In this wonderful addition to the inspiration genre, Delilah demonstrates her surpassing candor, charisma and intensity without sentimentality. (May) Forecast: These excellent inspirational stories will likely resonate with the Oprah crowd and garner major nationwide interest. The author's syndicated radio show provides built-in national publicity and a guaranteed readership.

From Library Journal

Nighttime on-air confidante Delilah regularly reaches six million people on 200 stations in all 50 states. Organized around a quote from "The Book of Ecclesiastes," her debut is a unique combination of her life story, her poetry, and letters from friends and dedicated listeners. Chapter titles include "A Time To Weep," "A Time To Mourn," "A Time To Embrace," and "A Time To Love." Throughout, Delilah conveys an overwhelming feeling of love and the need to reach out now before you lose the opportunity; some of the reminiscences, in fact, are heart-wrenching. Given Deliah's enormous popularity, this moving title belongs in all public libraries. It will also make a good gift for someone who is dealing with tough personal or family issues.
