There are times in our lives when hard, disappointing days, weeks, even months, come to us. We all wish someone would come our way with words of encouragement to pull us up. This book is that someone. When disaster struck this author's family, leaving her and her mother alone, she began collecting words of wisdom, to help her navigate through it. With her children scattered in the wind, and her husband now in prison, she and her mother were left to fend for themselves, to keep moving forward. The author was now forced to seek a job, after over 20 years out of the workforce, while going back to school, to get a degree (of which she is still doing). If these words of encouraging wisdom helped her get through some very dark times, then I am sure these same words will help you as well.

Heather Mathews has been and still is an encourager to many with the notes she writes and shares. She is hoping this book will be the start of a journey to help share Christ's love through trauma, helping people know that their story can help others heal from their stories, and help people know that they are not alone.
