A suspense-filled family storyline, set in the San Francisco Bay Area, with an electrifying finish.

An affecting story about believing in oneself, and perhaps even of the importance of the supernatural.

In Sherry Maysonave's intriguing and supernatural The Girl Who Could Read Hearts, a young girl with special powers navigates through the drama in her life... The story has an immediate mystical tone,introducing its innocent young protagonist and the enigmatic doll that communicates with her. The narrative flows well and is filled with dynamic,rich imagery... Kate proves to be a sweet protagonist, one who is very well developed.

The use of the diverse family members from several generations creates the sense of a rich tapestry of history and of the scope of the secrets, adding appeal to the already seductive plot. Their interwoven stories further convey themes of believing in oneself and in divine intervention... The Girl Who Could Read Hearts is an affecting story...

There is a delightful mixture of intriguing characters, realistic dialogue, spiritual concepts and mystical experiences... The Girl Who Could Read Hearts by Sherry Maysonave is a truly enjoyable way to be reminded of the magic possible in earthly lives.
Sherry Maysonave... has written an inspirational and thought-provoking novel. Ms. Maysonave writes in a clear, easy-to-read style; the story flows effortlessly. While there are many characters and various connections between them, it is easy to keep track of each one, primarily due to her distinct descriptions of each person. The author's sharing of her own intuitive abilities at the end of the book is also enlightening.
This book is truly a page-turner, engaging the reader from the first page until the last.
--Deborah Lloyd, 5-Stars, Readers' Favorite Reviewer, 8-18-2016

Groundbreaking story with a theme that is rarely touched upon in this genre...

The Girl Who Could Read Hearts by Sherry Maysonave is a psychological novel, a beautiful story of coming to grips with one's gifts. Kate Kindrick has the rare gift of the seventh sense... Can she assume it, fully accept it, and bear it through the many challenges that lie ahead?

The Girl Who Could Read Hearts is well written and, yes, the language casts a powerful spell from the very first word of the story. The prose is well-crafted with a strong and masterful use of descriptions to create an unsettling feeling in readers, and a setting that draws the reader irresistibly into the story. The multidimensional plot is very symbolic of the parallel universe inhabited by the psyche of the protagonist. The story starts with conflict and it is important to see how it climaxes.
Readers will also enjoy the well-crafted characters and how the author explores their psychological health. Sherry Maysonave makes readers care about her characters and invites them to embrace their weirdness, their God-given talents without shame.

From the Author

Intuitive as a child, I have had mystical experiences throughout my life. At the mere age of five, I had a direct experience of my soul existing separately from my physical body. This forever changed my perception of God,life on earth, and life in heaven.

The Girl Who Could Read Hearts was inspired by a vivid dream where my deceased sister was was clearly visible and shouting from a mountaintop.

The segments of this story that embrace death are based upon my real-life experiences when I was present with beloved family members as they passed away. These wondrous encounters of my loved ones' spirits after their physical deaths are deeply engaging.

I don't just believe there is an afterlife, I know there is.

From the Inside Flap

Born gifted with a rare seventh sense--the ability to read human hearts coupled with keen intuition--Kate Kindrick struggles to understand her capabilities. She is often bewildered by her unique perceptions, combined with seeing symbols and colors in people's hearts.

Kate's parents fear that their young daughter suffers from delusional psychosis. Their concerns are intensified by her claims that she has conversations with an angel. Only her grandmother, who is gravely ill, and her uncle, a famous writer, encourage Kate to develop her gifts.

Yet it's her naiveté of the intuitive signs that augur trouble. When she doesn't heed an inner warning, her world spins into a dangerous spiral that spells hazard for her and those she loves. Her antics land her cherished uncle in the hospital.His life hangs in the balance.

Just when she believes things couldn't get worse, her life cascades down a doubly treacherous path. She is forced to spend extended time with her teenage cousin, Marilla Marzy, and the girl's sinister father--Vaynem Moxsin. Tormented by both of them,she prays for rescue. Shocking events transpire.

This captivating novel explores issues relevant to many of today's societal woes:prejudice, abuse, eating disorders, and limiting belief systems. It delves into the mysteries of death and of angels, plus intuition, finding God in all, and true love.

Full of spirit,this poignant story brims with inspiration, daring, and hope.

The Serial Reader

A Beautiful Story Beautifully Told

Reviewed in the United States on December 1, 2016

Verified Purchase

I read the girl who could read hearts twice and can’t stop to marvel at the beauty of the prose, at the strong storyline, the compelling characters and, of course, the powerful message. Sherry Maysonave successfully brings two worlds to clash — the supernatural world of the angels and the human reality — but it is the realism that permeates this story that will surprise many readers.

The story of young Kate reminds me of the heroes and heroines of Paulo Coelho’s works, who are often at odds with their society because of their gifts. It’s the same with Kate, a girl who can read hearts, penetrate human emotions, and curiously see the different colors residing in the human heart. As it happens to anyone with an unusual gift, she suffers being labelled as mentally ill. Her journey towards self-acceptance and growth, a journey made with an angelic companion is one that will offer many lessons to readers.

It’s not surprising that this intriguing story is based on real life experiences of the author and that it wins the 2016 Beverly Hills Book Awards ─ Fiction, Religion. You’ll deepen your faith in the supernatural and see life flowing beyond the mundane experiences of life when after you read this inspiring and entertaining story.

She tells the story with great sensitivity and compassion

Reviewed in the United States on May 18, 2016

Verified Purchase

THE GIRL WHO COULD READ HEARTS is an inspiring reminder of the importance of listening and responding to the "still small voice" or the "prickly warning in the pit of the stomach." The characters of Kate, Uncle TT and Dr. Donnahorn all faced the consequences of not listening.
"........Her beloved angel doll, Etta Ebella, was a fragment of herself, now reduced to a charred mess. At least, her earthly replica was. And it was all because Kate had not listened to the odd feeling that had surrounded her on her birthday. And then, she had not paid attention to the prickly warning in the pit of her stomach. In retrospect, that feeling must have been about the candles. The whole thing was her fault."

It is also a revealing story about the complexities of family relationships. The author uses the "reading of hearts" as a way to open our minds to how we really communicate and show how we care about others. She tells the story with great sensitivity and compassion.
".....She watched as a red flare shot out from Angelique's heart. Uh - oh, Dr. Donnahorn is mad, Kate thought. The red flare was not unlike the red swirl she now saw in Dr. Joe's heart."

I highly recommend this book to young adult-to-adult readers. We all need reminders of how our creator works within us and this novel weaves a family's story around this power.

Intriguing suspenseful story. At times joyful, sad, and scary.

Reviewed in the United States on June 29, 2016

Creatively written. Suspenseful drama. Slow to get ‘pulled’ in but once you are, the book is a page turner. Clever plots, characters, and easy reading. The author has clever names for the book’s characters similar to the Harry Potter series. I’m not a fiction reader but a friend recommended that I read this book since I had deviated from my normal non-fiction reading to read the Harry Potter books. If you enjoyed reading the HP books, you will enjoy reading this book. It could easily be a book and/or movie series. I had wished there were a series of author’s questions at the end of the book. It would be useful for book club members.

The Girl Who Could Read Hearts

Reviewed in the United States on January 25, 2020

Verified Purchase

This story was utterly beautiful. I loved every minute reading it and could relate to the Bay Area as I grew up there. This is a story everyone young or old should read at least once in their
life while they are here in Earth. They will learn that Angels do exist. This story will make your spirit smile as you are touched by little Late and her Angel doll Etta Ebella. The story especially touched my heart as I grew up with the gift of being an Empath and the ability to read hearts. It was so touching to know that perhaps there are others out there like me. I believe in God and the angels. For a touching and heart felt story that will touch your soul and make your spirit leap with a feeling of recognition read this book. You'll be glad you did

Love it!

Reviewed in the United States on May 19, 2016

Verified Purchase

I’m in a book club with 8 other picky readers who range in age from 33 to 70. We like a good story; page turners are favorites. We also value substantive content so we have plenty to toss around while we enjoy dinner and a glass of wine. I’ve recently read Sherry Maysonave’s, The Girl Who Could Read Hearts, and it’s now the book we will read and discuss next month. I love the underlying message, the divine has our back if we listen to divine guidance, which at times can be subtly communicated. There’s more, a story line with twists and turns, a villain with character traits I recognize from a few of the villains in my own life, and an angel advising a six year old who has the gift to . . . read hearts.

Just an okay read...

Reviewed in the United States on June 20, 2018

Verified Purchase

Sometimes Amazon recommends a book based on your browsing history. Sometimes you come across a brilliant book that way and sometimes you don't. This one was just okay, I wanted to like it, unfortunately I was not wowed. There was quite a few raved reviews but there was too many things that annoyed me.
The most prominent one was the silly names of the characters, it was so off putting. This book read like it was meant for young teens. Perhaps it was but I have read many books for young teens that I quite enjoyed.
I did not hate it but I was not captivated, I found myself bored half way through and trudged on.

A touching story!

I felt called to buy the book from the author, and I was brought to tears by the personally hand written note with the author's signature inside the front pages. I'm only a short way through the story, but it drew me in right away. I love the themes of interconnectedness and the magic of Angels. Thank you so much!

Good premise, too much content for one book

Reviewed in the United States on January 17, 2021

Verified Purchase

I applaud the premise and really enjoyed Kate's (the child) perspective. However, this needs more than one book to cover all the "societal woes." It felt convoluted/forced/confusing to try to cram all these into one book (not to mention depressing); there is only so much of that I can take; I read for entertainment and upliftment.
4 stars because of the premise and Kate's delightful perspective. Keep writing!
