"On Love Death and Belonging is the story of 3 seemingly random, world weary individuals whose lives intersect. It deals with burnout, domestic abuse, faith, advancing illness, palliative care and MAID (medical assistance in dying)with empathy and wit. The writing is clear, vivid and descriptive. Looking forward to reading more from this first time author!" - Christina

"A beautifully layered read that gives so many perspectives on boomer experiences of life, aging and death. Done with humour and tenderness, this book gives great insights into MAID (Medical Assistance in Dying). Bravo!" - Anne

"I really enjoyed this book, and especially its three main characters, a nurse, a housekeeper, and a young man with ALS, all of whom meet in a long-term care facility. There was a lovely blend of humour with the stark realities of lives that haven't gone as planned. I highly recommend reading it! Read this with my Book Club. So much to discuss! Great characterizations: I found myself understanding if not liking them, Daphne really rounded out the people in her novel." - Catherine

"It becomes pretty apparent in this book that life is not easy and it's often not fair. However, being resilient has its benefits and camaraderie comes in all shapes and sizes. Two things that I took away from this book are how fortunate I am and that a little humor mixed with a little kindness goes a long way." - Rose

"A remarkable first book, sensitively written, telling the story of three less fortunate people in our world managing their lives thru illness, loneliness and disappointment. Their characters come to life and I was transported into their lives very quickly. Gradually the three lives intersect and despite their inner battles, they slowly find their identity and their place of belonging. This book describes courage for me in a new way and I am very glad to have read it. Thank you Daphne!" - Dennice

"This author Daphne Leonie Wright is not afraid to face the final frontier, and she delicately guides her readers and characters to this final resting place. Through intertwining her three carefully crafted characters, she takes the reader on a "journey" through the latter parts of their lives there they eventually come to terms with the choices they made.

This is an important book and deserves five stars for its thought-provoking sensitive topics. The book is a timely must read, and brings MAID out of the closet. This is truly humanity in its final frontier." - Deborah G

"This book exceeded my expectations. The author used her expertise and knowledge of working as a nurse and her insights of people to create a story that keeps you reading. The author's writing style and her character development makes the reader interested from page one to the end! LOVED IT!" - Vancouver 2

"Each character-a nurse, a cleaner and a gay man with a life limiting illness- is alone and struggling as the novel begins. The writer creates relatable personal descriptions with humour and great empathy. Ultimately, all three are able to connect and support one another in an end of life scene. Beautifully written." - Kim P
