It’s been a while…mostly because my son was married almost three weeks ago and I’ve been writing! Last week I published a little something I’ve been working on for the last 10 months or so. As someone who has been a floundering Catholic all her life, I returned to the Catholic Church several years ago with a renewed sense of faith and a heart that felt called. It’s difficult to explain, and some will undoubtedly scoff at my story, but nonetheless, it was on my heart to tell it.
Restored: Piece by Piece is an optimistic and realistic look at the power of faith, what it can do for you and your soul, and the ways in which a heart turned toward God can restore you.
He has restored me and countless others. He can restore you, too.
If you’ve been floundering, seeking, wondering, feeling something in your heart shift, you are not alone. I felt all these things and more, which I cover in this 171-page book (typeset specifically for those of us with aging eyes).
My story is not unique. There are millions like it. But it’s my story from my perspective, most importantly with specific Scriptures and wisdom that both renewed me and set my heart on fire. When you become, as St. Paul tells us, “a new creation” (2 Corinthians 5:17), you desire to help others who may feel as you once felt.
It’s the first “nonfiction” book I’ve written, and it pairs well with the prayer journal I published a few years ago titled Time with Jesus.
My mantra with this book remains: If I can help just one person, it will all be worth it.
Available in paperback only via Amazon.
My forthcoming novel that connects to The Letters in the Books called The Sweetness We Share is coming soon! I’m working on getting that book, set in Annapolis once again, into your hands.
God bless,
