"Treasure your tears for they are the blueprints of your soul"
Book Reviews
This story was inspired by actual Tear Bottles that have been used for sentiment and held with respect for centuries.
Recommendation: Womensselfesteem.com recommends the book "The Tears To Treasure", to every type of reader that just wants to escape their world for a short time and lose themselves in a kind hearted story that will remind them that, ”life is meant to be lived”.
Amy and Brandon are brought together by love and spend their life building a family and making a home. All during the life changing events that occur, Amy is sent Tear Bottles and a note from an anonymous person telling her to treasure her tears.
I personally love when a story is developed by an author from a real life experience. I was happy to read that experience at the end of the book. I feel that the author did a good job of recognizing the ups and downs of life’s journey and giving narrative to the feelings we have along the way. I had pegged this book as being predictable given the early chapters but found myself surprised, even shocked, at some of the reasons why Amy should treasure her tears. The end gave me pause and I could picture many of times in my own life when I could have benefited from a tear bottle.

Throughout the trials and tribulations of their lives, during every major event sickness, births, injury, betrayal and even death. A package with a beautiful gift with the same message, For you Amy I give this…
Vickie Suchy knows how to hook the reader with the mysterious, “gift sender,” and dealing with real life situations such as the lost of trust towards someone you love, learning to forgive, dealing with the joy of life and the sorrows of death, in general all the complexities that come with love.
After reading “The Tears to Treasure Amy‘s Journey,” I realized that throughout our lives there will be times of both extreme happiness and sadness. Our tears are a part of our soul therefore we should remember whenever we shed them. Because the events that bring about our tears are what shape us into the individuals we ultimately become.
I give “The Tears to Treasure Amy‘s Journey,” four stars, its definitely a good read. It’s a “can’t put down,” until you figure out who is the mysterious “gift sender.”

I just finished reading “The Tears to Treasure,” by Vickie Suchy. After I was finished reading, the first thought that came to my mind was, “Wow!” I absolutely loved it. The journey of Amy was amazing and I cried right along with her. I was able to feel all the emotions as though I was living them. During Amy’s journey she receives these exquisite Tear Bottles without knowing whom they are from, I thought that I knew until I found out at the end and it was not who I was expecting.
I had never heard of Tear Bottles before and I thoroughly enjoyed learning about these bottles. After the story has ended Suchy gives us information on how she learned of the Tear Bottles and she also tells us what exactly a Tear Bottle is. She also lists a website where you can purchase Tear Bottles and I know I will be visiting it. I know someone right know that has an upcoming occasion that the gift of a Tear Bottle would be fitting.
