the love for "expect the extraordinary"
"I just read your book in one sitting. I indeed was gifted with an extraordinary experience. Thank you for writing it. I know it will help countless numbers.
I have read a gazillion books, so I sincerely appreciate and admire your distillation of profound truths in one approachable and enjoyable read, combined with the emotional human interest stories. As for your horse stories, I was truly touched by the depth of their intuitive intelligence and their compassion and patience for us mere humans. Thank you for sharing yourself with the world."

REVIEWS
"What a fantastic book! I have to say that I finished it on Tuesday....and I have to reread it again. The information is presented so clearly and informatively. I know this information will help so many as they pursue their inward journey to living a fuller, more passionate life." M.J. - Massachusetts 
"Expect the Extraordinary" by Sue Pighini is definitely a book that makes the case for real, down-to-earth spiritual guidance forged through adversity as well as through joy. Within its pages Sue Pighini presents a thoroughly enjoyable, self-reflective analysis of her own life - one that has had its course steered by divine angels along its way. The book is also a noteworthy reading experience because of the inclusion of several personal photos and the addition of some of the author's favorite quotes. These serve to keep the reader both entertained and informed in equal measure from cover to cover. Spirituality Today "I could not put your most recent book down and read some parts twice before passing it along to a dear friend who is as spiritual much as I since we have spoken many times about angels in our lives." D.D. - North Carolina |
Extraordinary Experiences from the Book:
"After reading Sue's book "Expect the Extraordinary", I had an extraordinary dream. It was completely different from what I have ever experienced, and I believe was due to this wonderful book that Sue wrote. It was a dream of comfort and a euphoric feeling, one that you don't want to wake up from. After waking I felt like I have never felt before, totally refreshed and relaxed. In my dream I had the feeling of weightlessness and complete comfort with blue butterflies circling me. Thanks Sue for a great experience."

"I just finished reading the book, "Expect the Extraordinary", and wanted to write about my experience to encourage others to read this inspiring and healing book by Sue Pighini.
I was in tears by the end of chapter two, so I knew this book was already touching my soul. I read on, highlighting paragraphs and dog-earring pages. But, when I reached page 71, I was sobbing with unresolved grief. I had just lost my dear Mother, my best friend, four months earlier. I thought I was getting over the loss but not so.
What struck me on page 71 was Sue's connection with her mentor mare (female horse), Skye: "When you look into my eyes, you will see my soul which is always filled with love for you." When Sue looks into Skye's eyes she sees unconditional love and trust. That is what I saw in my Mother's eyes, even after her stroke. What Skye taught me was that I was enormously grateful for the years I had of my Mom's unconditional love. What a gift this book is!
I wonder what this little, easy read of a magical healing book has to offer you? I wish you, the reader or listener a profound heart healing like I had. Thanks Sue."

Professional Editors:
"I wasn’t sure what to really expect in reading this book, but I was intrigued by the
description and with the opening as I think the whole “near death experience” thing and
the concept of angelic guides is super interesting. Sue Pighini’s writing is engaging and
flows well, and the collection of experiences, from her own to others', is inspiring and eye
opening. Loved the pictures, and I was completely blown away by how absolutely
riveting this book was from start to finish. I feel like I got to know the author personally
and am in awe at not only what she has experienced in her life, but her gift for sharing her
message with the world." (5 stars) Sherrie Warner—Goodreads

“Expect the Extraordinary” is a beautifully uplifting book with a powerful, positive
message throughout. This book by Sue Pighini is a must read for anyone who wants to
better understand how to connect with the spiritual energy around them and how the
angels are all around us, we just need to listen. Loved reading about her near death
experiences, and the others’ as well. It is amazing what each of them take away from the
experiences – profound insights on life that can teach us all something and
without having to nearly die first! (Especially loved the ’10 Sacred Insights’ – I want to print them
up and put them on my wall!!) The whole thing was just so easy to read and felt very
relatable to me and my life and I feel like I learned a lot. I’ll reread this in the future and
recommend to my friends and family. (5 stars) Jenna Brewster—Goodreads; Barnes & Noble; Indie Book Reviewers
I read “Expect the Extraordinary” cover to cover in the course of one evening. It was a
wonderful book, and very easy to follow along and understand the life (and near death)
stories that the author, Sue Pighini, shares with us. She relates not only the extraordinary
events in her life, but others as well, and how we are never alone and have our guardian
angels with us at all times. But more than just saying this, she gives direct, practical
advice about how to go about connecting with these voices and learning from them and
becoming better and stronger with true to life examples and instructions. Very profound
and emotionally engaging, and a great compliment to any spiritual or self improvement/
awareness lifestyle. A wonderful read that touched my mind, heart, and soul. (5 stars)

Well written, powerful, descriptive, inspiring, and relatable, “Expect the Extraordinary”
by Sue Pighini is by far one of the better books I’ve read in a long time. It just felt so
important, so profound and real. This book was written in a way that anyone could grasp
the concepts Ms. Pighini shares, and they are laid out in a way that ties everything
together and it all makes sense. Loved the part with the horses and now I know why I
love them so much! I really like how she writes, like a wise friend is talking to you and
sharing her intimate secrets. The “big picture” painted is one that leaves the reader with a
much deeper knowledge and understanding of self and their source of angelic messages
and their power and knowledge that surprised me…I feel like I learned more reading this
book in two nights than I have reading any other spiritual self improvement book.
Definitely recommend. (4-5 stars) Sam Ryan—Goodreads; Barnes & Noble; Indie Book

Sam Ryan: 4.5 Stars well written, powerful, descriptive, inspiring and relatable, "Expect the Extraordinary" by Sue Pighini is by far one of the better books I've read in a long time. It just felt so important, so profound and real. This book was written i a way that anyone could grasp the concepts Ms. Pighini shares, and they are laid out in a way that ties everything together and it all makes sense. Loved the part with the horses and now I know why I love them so much! The "big picture" painted is one that leaves the reader with a much deeper knowledge and understanding of self and their source of angelic messages and their power and knowledge that surprised me....I feel like I learned more reading this book in two nights than I have reading any other spiritual self-improvement book. Definitely recommend. Laura Clarke: 5 Stars I absolutely loved that this book answered so many questions I never even knew I had! And explained so many different facets of our consciousness, spirituality and life in general in such an easy to understand and comprehensive way. I really feel like I got a lot out of it. It was very educational, but not in that dry, textbook sort of way that many religious/spiritual non-fictions can be, but incredibly personal and intimate. And it didn't come across as preachy or patronizing at all! Just the author sharing her (and a few others) life (and near death) experiences, good, bad and ugly that connect all of us to a higher 'source' of awareness and power. I had no idea that I was going to be impressed and invested in a book about a stranger's life. But by the end of the first sections, I felt like Ms. Pighini and I were best friends and her journey was mine. It is really hard to sum up this incredible book in a short paragraph, just that it is deeply touching, inspiring, truthful, and incredibly profound. I applaud Ms. Pighini for sharing her powerful story with us and will shout from the rooftops that others MUST read this book now - Your spiritual and mental health will be much better for it. Bella Readz: 5 Stars I am all about learning how to better myself and empower myself to be a better person today than I was yesterday on all levels, but this is really the first introduction I have had to learning about connecting with angels and I must say it was very refreshing and enlightening! I almost feel like I should read it again, even though I just finished it. There were so many passages and 'vignettes' that really spoke to me and made me recall many 'extraordinary' events in my life that I had forgotten or even swept under the rug as 'luck' or 'coincidence'...and now I know it was my angels talking to me. Even though I haven't experienced the same level of 'NDE's' as the author and the other subjects in the book, their guidance and words resonate on a deeper level than anyone can relate to in some aspect of their life. For it is what they LEARNED from their experiences and pass on here in this book that is both interesting to read and easy to understand, and Sue Pighini did a marvelous job of explaining complex ideas simply and coherently. Highly recommend. KayleenKS: 4 Stars I will start by saying this is a wonderful, inspiring book! I have read several books on the subject of angels, afterlife, and even 'near death experiences', but this one stands out to me in that wile it does contain some familiar ideas and concepts (not breaking any new ground here), I really liked the easy, natural tone in which she imparts her message in such an easy-to-understand and relatable way that can appeal to almost anyone. And that is great. I particularly like the narrative the author uses to illustrate her teachings and give broader perspectives to particular circumstances, all the while showing how it relates to our lives - how we are not alone in this. Seemed to be mostly well edited and put together, and I would recommend this to anyone seeking spiritual self-improvement or guidance on any level without hesitation.
