Back to the Garden: Getting From Shadow to Joy
Synopsis: Readers laugh and cry as they get to know and love the people, places and things (including the dirty magnolia tree in the author's back yard) on this winding journey through her follies, adventures and heartaches. On the path from sorrow to joy, she makes herself vulnerable in order to extend a hand to those seeking to make sense of their lives. Helping people rise above shackles of complacency and lack of direction, the book's honesty, clarity and spiritual insights are presented in an authentic, unique way, with humor and personality, wisdom and strength that are never overbearing.
