Reviews

Once in a while book comes along that captures our attention, yet rarely one that takes us captive. This book does both. Stories from her heart to ours mirror how much alike we really are and gives us a glimpse of the women God intends us to be. You will laugh, and you will cry as the Spirit begins to ripen His fruit in your life.

I highly recommend this honest, sensitive, humorous, and practical study. ...an essential study for building and/or restoring hope, courage, and faith.
