Here's what readers are saying about Decision or Destiny

Loved this book! Written with passion and undeniable charm and wit. I could hardly put it down.Darlene wove a story that transported you on a journey that swept through decades of the characters lives seamlessly while relating the events in Dianna's life to her granddaughter, Noel. The story telling approach, using the granddaughter was very touching and even brilliant as it brought all the characters to life immediately.
Judy Danczyk and Ken, author of Grandpa's Farm.


Decision or Destiny is a warm story of life and love. Throughout this engaging tale, this reader found herself drawn to compare it with her own life and wondering if there is a fine line between decisions made and one's destiny...or if life is based on all decisions made.
Faye Harleben, poet and author.


Decision or Destiny, a new book book out by local author Darlene Biese Schultz is a real page turner. It's a heartwarming story about a small town girl who leaves home, experiences many difficulties and finally returns to fine true love with her high school sweetheart.
Cliff Leary, poet and author of three books.

Shared with cancer support group

The beginning of August,I spoke to the "Living With Cancer Support Group" that I was part of in 2000. I shared my cancer experience and read a few passages from my book where Dianna is dealing with the news about having cancer. I realize how fortunate and grateful I am to be in good health.

Quote from Chapter 12

"Maybe it was maturity or being in my fifties, or just simply finding love again," I said to Noel. "Yes I found him again and went after him like today was all that mattered. Our life together is real because I decided to make my own destiny - not wait for it to happen as I did most of my life." From Chapter 12, Desision or Destiny
