    Customer Reviews

    I could not put this book down!I was drawn into this story as though Birdie were a close family friend! From the very beginning, she captured my heart and I had to stick with her through her struggles and triumphs. I will recommend this book to many and plan to give several as gifts. Macular degeneration is a dreaded condition, and Patti depicted the life with it very well, but also encouraged us all to live life with whatever disabilities we have...to find love as it comes to us! Birdie is my new hero...thank you Pattie for sharing her with us! I do hope we will see more of her :-) 5lovelyIt's a story that warm your heart. I have Macular Degeneration, as my sister, brother , & my mother had. I feel that so much is happening in the studies, that this disease will soon be controlled.Why do we hurt our children with words? You never forget what you wish you had never said; you just wish you'd have hugged them more. 4really loved this book!I loved reading a book about an older woman that was so realistic and heartwarming. Her family like most of ours has lots of problems and her natural momma instinct is to try to fix it all. Although things are at first going downhill she pulls it out in the end with a little help and several fervent prayers. The use of scripture is never preachy or over done. I learned a lot about macular degeneration something my own mother suffered from as well.Well done! 5An excellent read!This book is wonderful. It's fun and also informative on the topic of macular degeneration.Do you want to laugh, learn, and enjoy then read this book. You will not be sorry.I bought this book on Kindle and I also bought the paperback for a friend with macular degeneration and she loved it. The degenerates are a hoot, the dog is wonderful, the grandson gets to know and love his grandmother.I heartily recommend this book.Patty Hill is a great soryteller. 5Faith and ForgivenessJust finished reading this book for the second time, identifying a little to closely to memory lapses. I just remembered parts of the book. What stands out, this time is the honesty of anger and patience, Birdies determination to entrust those she loved to God. It was not easy. Just like forgiving those who hurt you or those you love. "Because if you don't forgive others, God will not forgive you. " 5Uplifting ReadThis book made me both cringe and laugh out loud! The author writes with wit, wisdom, and a dry sense of humor that will distract the reader from whatever he may find is bringing him down. This first person account of a mature lady recovering from an injury, complicated by her age related maticular degeneration and enhanced by the visits of an imaginary character from a well known classic novel, will certainly help you to keep all things in perspective. 5unusual but interesting.This book is very different . It is suited o senior citizens and their families. It Ives good insight o the prolms of inter generational families. Their problems are dlt with humor and understanding. It is refreshing to read a romance that is not full of sex scenes. There is a lot o think about while reading this book. 4Most memorable and engaging characters! Charmingly unpredictable situations. sThe title first caught my attention, but once I started reading I was completely absorbed. Birdie has become one of my favorite characters of all time. Strong message of love, the human foibles we all commit, and the power of forgiveness - without a hint of preachiness. Can't wait to read more of Patti Hill's writing. 5Family hurts and healingI have had Seeing Things on my Kindle for a while now. When I finally had a break between review books, I dove into this sometimes quirky, all the time touching story of family. Patti Hill has a different way of seeing things from other authors, and for that I am thankful. This contemporary novel explores the way families interact with hurt feelings and rejection and love and forgiveness. Birdie had a lot to teach, but also a lot to learn, and so did I. If you like contemporary family drama, make sure you check this one out. It is also FREE for Kindle Unlimited!Characterization is key in Seeing Things. Birdie Wainright is a great character. She is a very active and vibrant senior citizen who lives with her age-related macular degeneration (AMD) with graciousness and style. When a fall puts her in the middle of her son s semi-dysfunctional family, she is relegated to the guest bedroom. But in typical Birdie-style she puts both feet (one good/one injured) into the middle of the mix. Other characters Andy her distracted son, Suzanne her sometimes passive/sometimes aggressive and always stressed daughter-in-law and Fletcher her angst-ridden teenage grandson are all ripe for intervention with varying degrees of success. And you will love the supporting and supportive cast of housekeeper Lupe and The Bats, other women living with low-vision realities. And did I mention the imaginary character of Huck Finn? He plays an important role in the ultimate healing of the family.Even though I had a bout with (mercifully temporary and partial) blindness early on in my journey with Multiple Sclerosis, I never had to deal with a world in which glimpses of clear vision are marred by a gray fog. Birdie s AMD was an eye-opener for me! (Please excuse that really bad pun.) But what Birdie couldn t see, she trusted by faith in God. Her prayers for her family, or as she put it, lowering them through the roof to reach Jesus, are lovely and loving. One particular prayer for Suzanne shows the real-life struggle to pray for those who are our enemies. It is also laugh out loud hilarious!Seeing Things has been out for a while (2009), but still a great read from Patti Hill. I rank this one highly recommended and a good bet for book club discussions!Highly Recommended! 5Life at seventyThis book holds so much truth about getting older-learning to accept changes in roles we play, family relations,love and faith. Facing age with faith in God and learning that we can't control others. Acceptance and humor are part of the story. Being over 70 I know what Birdie feels! 4
