In that book I changed names of some of the people involved for privacy, but the first one Little Dents is about me and my oldest daughter. That's a treasured memory. As moms we have those special moments we recall I still have the vase from the story and looking at it brings a smile still. This is a book that evokes memories in moms as they recall similar moments and struggles of their own. It's part of that mom-bond we share. Our stories connect because we have similar experiences. It's a book for which you can journal about your own memories for your children to read at some point.
Growing a Joyful Heart, co-authored with Pam Farrel, will be on sale for 99 cents on the same days, May 8-12, because it makes another great gift for moms, although it's great for anyone who wants more real joy in life.
In the JOY book, Pam and I, plus some friends, share how we live a joyful life with choosing joy in all circumstances (hurricanes, financial woes, health issues, loss, and more that led to unexpected blessings. God can and ode turn our sorrows to joys.
