What my READERS have to say
ABOUT THE BOOK
Charle The moonpie
This memoir is deeply personal without feeling chaotic. Ann Simard structures her life story clearly, moving from childhood through adulthood with honesty and purpose. The tone is heavy at times but ultimately hopeful. Themes of trauma, faith, and healing are woven naturally into each chapter, making the journey from panic to peace feel earned.

What stood out most was the raw portrayal of family relationships. The author presents real people, flawed and complex, rather than simplified villains. The setting shifts from small town childhood to broader life experiences, which keeps the pacing engaging. It reads like a true story meant to help others survive their own.
Margarita Rose Bailey
The story of perseverance through the bad and ugly parts of life. The life that was lived by the world and then her life is changed by her relationship with the Lord. The changes in her life are profound. Very engaging story.

Bruce
What makes this story compelling is its emotional consistency. The author does not sensationalize her experiences. The theme of forgiveness, both for others and oneself, develops slowly and naturally throughout the book.
Lily Guills
The memoir shows how patterns repeat until they are confronted. Ann Simard does not excuse harmful behavior, but she explains it with maturity and insight. The pacing is steady, and the genre blends personal history with spiritual reflection very well.
Sarah Greens
This book fits firmly in the autobiographical and inspirational genre. The chapter-based structure makes it easy to follow while allowing emotional breaks for the reader. The mood starts dark and tense but gradually softens into reflection and calm. It never feels forced, just sincere.

Wear Your Waders is about endurance more than shock value. The mood is serious but not hopeless. I appreciated how the author balances trauma with moments of growth and self-awareness. It feels written to connect, not to impress.
