All of them. You'll laugh, you'll cry, you'll rage, you'll sympathize, you'll empathize, and then you'll do it all over again (and again) because you can't put it down and you need to follow along on Heather's moving and difficult journey with her son." - Jen Mann, New York Times Best-Selling Author of Spending the Holidays with People I Want to Punch in the Throat."Maloy bares her heart (and sometimes her teeth) in an honest debut that's snarky and sweetA heartbreaking, inspirational account." - Kirkus Reviews.

Author's Note: I Hate Piñatas is not an inspirational book, but rather a true and honest account of what we went through as a family. I Hate Piñatas was the 2015 Independent Publisher Book Awards' Gold Medalist - Best Adult Non-Fiction E-Book and was given an Honorable Mention in the 2015 San Francisco Book Festival as well as 2015 Indie Excellence Awards' Finalist - Memoir. In my quest to keep it real, there are curse words contained within the story. I Hate Piñatas is a compelling story of hope and strength that vacillates between heartbreaking and outrageously funny as Maloy takes you through what three heart surgeries in three years looked like for one family. This is what Heather Maloy learned first-hand when her son, Colman, was diagnosed in utero with a combination of congenital heart defects which are fatal without surgical intervention. However, it's my hope that this book will leave you feeling inspired.. Heart surgery doesn't happen in a vacuum

I loved this book! Even though it's a memoir, it reads like a novel, and there were times I didn't want to put it down. The subject matter is many times heartbreaking, but I love that the author didn't make this a doom-and-gloom book or a preachy, syrupy piece of martyrdom. Instead, Maloy finds humor in the toughest of situations. Sensitive readers may be shocked by Mal. Brenna DeMoss said Excellent Read! Heather's writing pulls you in and you. Excellent Read!
