I received my copy of “the Girl on the Pink Bicycle” today. Some days I get lost in music and other days I get lost in books For me reading is like having silent conversations with printed souls.

I have just started my read of “The Girl on the Pink Bicycle” and I already feel so much pride and so blessed to have had the privilege of knowing this extraordinary and inspiring woman that is Sister Michelle. The warm and genuine smile you see on this picture is the same smile she greeted us with every single day and exactly how I remember her. This book will not disappoint anyone reading it.

Ce livre est inspirant et donne beaucoup d’espoir pour les femmes. Aussi il est très enrichissant comme lecture. Je l’ai vraiment aimé. C’est un petit trésor.

I admire Michelle's, the author's, courage and resilience. She trusted in providence despite all the unforeseen and sometimes distressing life situations she faced. In her quest for acceptance and love, she offers a glimpse into the experiences of many women, especially those without a voice. The message I take away is that at any age, surrender, trust, and let God open the path to a new adventure.

"The Girl on the Pink Bicycle" is riding out of Campbell River leaving behind her story with a group of wise line-dancers. Rekindling friendships is such a joy and a privilege.

I LOVED your book. I have many parts that spoke to me. I printed out and framed two passages that spoke to me.

"It isn't your job to see around the corners of your life. Your job is to focus on the direction in front of you. God takes care of the corners." (pg 128)

"God's love for me never changes. God dances with me and around me, lifts me, and sometimes twirls me around. At times, my innumerable fearful and obstinate moments still propel me into leading or leaving the dance, yet my Partner keeps catching my hand and pulling me back." (pg 296). What a powerful image.

I love your thought that God has a sense of humour. I never thought about that before and it makes me super happy when I think about that now. I also love how you write about God dropping in on your life. These ideas make me smile.

I finally took the time to read this book, once I started it was so hard to put down. It was written by our one and only Sister Michelle Bonneau and that’s exactly what she is our one and only There was always something so special about Sister Michelle in everything she did and with everyone she did it with So dedicated and determined in every aspect she was always there no matter your language, religion, colour, or your background. She always made you feel safe and cared for and I for one is living proof of this. Many years ago, if I didn’t have Sister Michelle by my side I truly believe my life would definitely be different today. She was always there for me and with her guidance, support, presence and love she helped me through many tough times. For this I will be forever grateful I know that this is the case for many students throughout our school years because her actions didn’t end when the school year did, they are still present to this day This book is very well written and tells you about the beautiful woman behind the pencil. You inspire so many xoxo If you haven’t had a chance to read it yet you should. Thank you for all you do and I am forever grateful for you

My friend and mentor, Michelle Bonneau has written a splendid book about her life’s journey: “The Girl on the Pink Bicycle”. It is a jewel and a must-read! It is a book of hope and grace and of all our ability to make a change in the world no matter where we are. Your book is a gift.
