Gifts from the Porch Swing

We all face losses in our lives. One of the most challenging one is the loss of a spouse. My husband and I were married for 40 years. I met him at 17. When my husband died, him mother was still living with us. To be caregiver and widow at the same time was the challenge of a lifetime. Years later, I felt inspired to write about the things God taught me as I sought Him every morning on the porch swing.

In the style of creative memoir, this 245 page book will inspire, and give hope to those suffering the loss of a loved one as well as those who love to read about the faithfulness of God. Hear the still small voice of our Lord as He surrounds you with His unfailing love.
