I could not have finished this book without the support of Sylvia Yu Friedman.
She has been the best support I could have wished for—pushing me through the editing process and designing my beautiful cover, and she was with me through the publishing and marketing of my memoir.
I waited a long time to publish my story of life before, during, and after WW11. It is not pretty, but it gave me strength and resilience to live my life to the fullest.
It is my honour to work with Sylvia Yu Friedman to bring my story to life through this memoir, which takes me from birth until the emigration to Canada. It was difficult for me to relive these experiences, and Sylvia has gently encouraged me to be brave enough to turn them into a book. It is about the transformative power of hope despite challenges and discovering that you have the inner strength to move on and rise above the past, without letting it define you. Thank you, Sylvia, for helping me to tell my story. I waited a long time to find someone who could coax me to reveal my ghosts. You did that!

Sylvia Yu Friedman showed me what’s possible and saw what I couldn’t see in myself to bring my caregiving story to life through writing. Her ability to listen with empathy, to ask the right questions, and crystalise ideas into actionable steps made working with her as my book coach an experience that I am grateful and honoured to have.
The bonus? Her vast life experience, humility and constant encouragement made the entire process of book writing a memorable one that helped me grow significantly more than I ever expected.
Her transformative coaching has led to me clinching a book deal from Penguin Random House SEA and my first book, “Nurturing the Nurturer: Mindfulness, Sleep and the Art of Caring without Losing Yourself” will be published in October 2026.
Sylvia coached me on writing my book proposal and book.

Sylvia Yu Friedman provided me with mentorship and guidance on understanding the publishing industry and what I could do to optimise the opportunities for my alternative history novel, Silkwood – War in Australia, Terror in the Tropics, being published by a traditional publisher.
Her advice and coaching were practical, providing me with an actionable plan to refine my manuscript, build my author profile, and pitch to publishers. Sylvia’s commentary is constructive and insightful.
Sylvia is an encouraging and approachable coach.
I highly recommend Sylvia’s book coaching and her masterclass to anyone interested in writing and being published.

Author of Silkwood – War in Australia, Terror in the Tropics
I have always wanted to a write a book, but never thought it would even be a project that I would entertain. Before this year, there wasn’t any specific genre that spoke out to me. However, the idea of writing a book has never truly left me…
I have followed Sylvia for many years, and she is truly an amazing, inspiring, powerhouse of a woman. After some communication, I couldn’t help but sign up for her Masterclass, and it was definitely one of the best decisions I have ever made.
Sylvia created an environment where it felt safe to be vulnerable.
When we shared our ideas, regardless of what point we may have been in our writing journey, she listened to us without any judgement. Sylvia even took our ideas and gave us feedback on what types of book genres we could be writing, such as a devotional, self-help, or a biography. We also had time to workshop and create the beginnings of an outline. Most importantly, Sylvia gave us the tools and encouragement that made it feel like writing a book wouldn’t be such an insurmountable obstacle. It was such a positive and motivating experience.
