Customer Reviews
“The book ‘moved’ me. It made me think about myself… It was most interesting, particularly the author’s personal experiences throughout her life… With her relatable story telling she was able to make a “textbook” (how to heal yourself) become fascinating and produce emotional responses, be they laughing, crying, thinking, applauding… People will benefit from the lessons outlined in the book and I can see people being inspired to make their own lives better and that of others.”
~ Paul L

“An Evolving Love Story is one of those rare books that manages to be both inspiring and practical. The author blends real-life experiences with powerful lessons that challenge you to look inward and take action. Her writing is straightforward yet deeply moving – each story reminding us that growth doesn’t come from avoiding adversity, but from reframing it.
If you’re at a crossroads and ready to reset your direction in life, this is the book you’ll be grateful you picked up. It invites reflection but also drives momentum – it makes you want to evolve.
As someone who works in leadership and personal development, I appreciated how skillfully the author connects emotional insight with practical renewal. An exceptional read that shows what renewal can truly look like in real life.”
~ Shawn S
“I purchased this book expecting to learn, not so much for myself, but in order to hopefully help someone that I love in my life. To my surprise, I found it incredibly moving and helpful for me AND my loved one. The book crosses between a textbook (and yes, I felt the need to highlight some critical insights!) but also a memoir. The author shares personal experiences, coupled with specific insights and strategies that are helpful across many different situations. I will be re-reading the book as I’m sure I will learn more…I highly recommend.”

About the Author
Shelagh Kennett has combined her background as a mother, writer and career coach with her experience coaching hundreds of people from all over the world to realize her dream to become an author.
She has spent a lifetime gathering special quotes, journaling and embracing her “Masters in Life Experiences” to become passionate about the power of self-love. Nothing can compare to the inspiration and motivation she gleaned from her four children, to strive to become all she could be. Working with clients crafting new careers reinforced her personal belief that a renewal of self-love is at the heart of finding true success and happiness.
In her book, An Evolving Love Story, she writes, “Healing and finding out who we really could become can be as simple as changing how we tell the story about ourselves to our soul…One day, the only thought that consumes us is that life is short and only happens once; we feel driven to find ways to get it right.”
In an effort to transform, become empowered and find renewal in her own life, she shares relatable stories and invites the reader to do the same. She was motivated to write so that others could learn to own who they are becoming and thus celebrate who they are; it is how the jewel of self-love can lead us home to a meaningful life.
Discover the wonder in your life. Move through the darkness into the light. Learn from the butterfly. Shelagh Kennett
