Dawn of Hope & Kept by Love
Having been a Funeral Celebrant and Hospital Chaplain for many years myself, I identified completely with the characters and situations you wrote about. Couldn’t put the books down. Who says men don’t read fiction? Keep writing! DON

Read both Dawn of Hope and Kept by Love and appreciated the depth of personal conflicts that occurred in the lives of the characters, keeping the reader in anguish. Liked the tension re outcomes and the subtle challenge of the Christian input. The flowing beauty of the wording throughout both books is to be congratulated. The deepest acceptance for me was because I knew you and so much written reflected your life! JULIE

Dawn of Hope & Kept by Love
You write well, with great clarity, your characters are likable and the story pulls the reader along. Your experience in your fields is impressive and I admire the way you've translated all that wisdom into a novella that's insightful and charming at the same time. RD

Kaye's latest book Shaped is an insightful, touching autobiography. It was a genuine privilege to share in her emotional and spiritual journey. Kaye's account of early family life and the subsequent effects on all involved is both heart breaking and heart warming. Central to the book is her willingness to be shaped and formed by the "Master Potter." Thank you Kaye. Melinda

Dawn of Hope & Kept by Love
Dawn of Hope is a realistic look at mental health, written in a work of fiction. I really enjoyed this book. I am an Aussie and I can relate to the main character in her struggle with mental health. Thank you for sharing truth and creating believable characters. NICKI

An emotionally good read. A new understanding of others’ struggles along with a grasp of how God leads in our lives for his purpose and how each person is uniquely wired. This is all tempered with Kaye’s good wit. Loved it. Read it in two days. Cherie
Shafts of Light
Loved Shafts of Light. The cover, the photographs and the explanations all add to the reader’s understanding and enjoyment of the poems. Como Bridge really resonated with me as I also travelled over it many times and admired the view. PAUL
Dawn of Hope & Kept by Love
Dawn of Hope and the sequel Kept by Love have a positive message for young Christians who may have a mental illness. The books explore the reality of having such an illness and the acceptance of needing ongoing medication to stay well and as a result, being able to still have a fulfilling and happy life. The second book shows that despite setbacks, the importance of love, loyalty and forgiveness are paramount in managing challenging situations.

Dawn of Hope and Kept by Love tell a very encouraging story that gives hope to the many people who struggle with long term mental health issues. FRAN
Shaped
Kaye Hollings writes with penetrating honesty. In managing to be so open about her "non-relationship" to her grandmother and the pain that this "thorn in her life" brought, she helps all of us to courageously face our life’s hurdles. Rev John Giles

I started to read this book and I could not put it down. I was hooked after reading just the first page. Kaye gave it to us warts and all. I appreciated her willingness to be so open and honest. Thank you Kaye for sharing your life with us. Robyn

The story of Toni and her struggle with the mental problems in her life touches all of us who recognise the same problems - if not in our own lives, in that of our families and friends. CHRIS

Your book Shaped was inspiring. I loved your insights into mental health and life in general; pearls of wisdom through a life lived with its many challenges. I can see how God would use your experiences to speak love and comfort into many lives. Thank you for sharing your story. Will

With each turn of the page I’m lit up on the inside with wonder at what part of my soul this poem will awaken. Kaye’s poems touch a place that gives me courage to listen for what is being said and what is not being said within my own soul. JANINE

Shafts of Light is beautifully written and a joy to read. I feel I am with you on a journey of exploration into your soul. ANNE

I finished your lovely book Shaped. It has been a real blessing to me, and given me some extra insights about depression. I see the book as a blessing from God to have better understanding about our son's depression. Jan

Lovely book. Very timely as my brother died a few days before book arrived and I was comforted by it. I keep going back to read the poems again. Thank you. RON
