Query: Recipe for Hope in Hard Times

Take one generous part wisdom and two parts encouragement, shake well and add a big group hug. That's what Josephine Carlton has done in this pint sized inspirational and empowering book filled with casual interviews of women from varied walks of life.Getting through hard times with grace is often difficult to do -and hard to maintain. Yet, just knowing that others have succeeded with with little more than their weary spirit at times, is what makes us believe in life's possibilities. Let down your shoulders and relax...this book quietly reminds its reader that it's okay to sit still and rest your tired soul. You're among friends.This wonderful, chunky little book followed me around in my bag and now adorns my night table, where it is available and uplifting - and yet, intimately mine.
