Summary: And you thought you had problems!
Review: And I thought I had it bad....this is a story that made me appreciate the few scars I carry on my body and in my heart. Rudy is as cute as her name and her words of encouragement are as priceless as the machinery in her petite frame that keeps her ticking like a Timex watch in a washing machine. She writes with honest emotion and belly laughing humor.You'll get caught up in her life as she works through the unfairness,the frustations and the funny stuff of ordinary life. From scolding interns to stealing out of the neighbors trash ( my personal favorite), she seems to have found a wonderfully refreshing way to simply cope.
If you are having a blue period in your life, or riding on a rainbow, you need a dose of Rudy Wilson Galdonik and you will wish she was living next door. She willingly gives her heart, so TAKE HEART!

Summary: Feeling Good
Review: I was amazed to read a book about so many life problems, and end up feeling good at the end! The author certainly knows how to keep life in perspective, and does it with great wit. On a number of occasions I burst out laughing. I would call this a "light read" due to the sense of humor of the author. What a great example of making lemonade out of lemons!

Summary: Feeling Good
Review: One of those books that is hard to put down once you start reading. Doris Day meets Jerry Seinfeld. Multiple heart surgeries, raising a family, and experiencing widow-hood at an early age would do most of us mere mortals in. Rudy manages to take on all these experiences and give a humorous and soulful insight into dealing with life's challenges. Reading this book you go from profound sympathy to a grin from ear to ear, page after page. I used to think the heart was that thing in your body that pumps the blood around. Rudy has that unique writer's gift that can deftly story-tell the emotional heart that keeps us all going, spinning humor and inspiration from cover to cover

Summary: We loved this book!
Review: Rudy has a gift to share her world in a witty, self-deprecating and joyful way. You will laugh out loud and want to read passages to anyone nearby who will listen. It's amazingly life affirming even when dealing with the biggest challenges we face. Taking Heart will make you want to be a better person, but be able to smile even if you fail. When you put it down, you will want to immediately pick it up again. It is a wonderfully entertaining book that uses humor to deal with life's greatest obstacles. Thinking of Rudy as the new millennium Erma Bombeck is easily justified.

Summary: Humor Loops Around Your Heart
Review: Take Heart! by Rudy W. Galdonik is a book to give to all of your friends, especially anyone going through tough times. I couldn't put it down. It's a fast funny read, touching and thought-provoking. Take Heart, made me laugh out loud, and at other times choke back tears. I've not read a book that left me wanting more. This one did. It takes real talent to write about serious situations, in a way that leave readers so connected to the stories and the author. Here's an example:The day after the moving van leaves their home, Rudy is sick as a dog with the flu. The family is cleaning the house before the long drive to Atlanta, when a realtor shows up with a potential buyer. Rudy hides in the closet, hoping no one will see her. When the closet door opens revealing a disheveled sick woman in pajamas lumped on the floor, the realtor and client leave in a hurry. These real life stories come together in force to tell of the author's journey through heart surgery and more. It should have left me sad and upset. It left me encouraged and determined with a positive attitude adjustment. The book is hilarious, with real and powerful moments. It's a splendid book to read and a perfect book to give.
