Editorial Reviews

"In 'Unseen Tears,' the names have been changed, but the people are real. You will sense this as Beau avoids the temptation to just tell a story; rather, he chooses the more powerful path – he
takes us there. As you read his description of the people, places, and circumstances his friends encounter on any given day, be prepared to be transported there, to meet extraordinary people, to
be changed."

Book Endorsement - Randy Gravitt

"There are so many current world events that are loud and chaotic, demanding our attention. Yet Beau's book 'Unseen Tears' re-focuses our attention on a group of children who are quietly hidden away but desperately needing our attention. With his first person account, this book touched my
heart for the disabled children of China."
