This was the book I needed thirty years ago. It might well be exactly what you need right now. Dorcas Smucker--author of Sunlight Through Dusty Windows

Some women wish they could find more books which speak to their current life circumstance. Mary doesn't stop with wishing; she writes a book for others in the same circumstance, drawing inspiration from those further along the journey, and writing down their spoken advice for thousands more to read and enjoy. Mary's writing style mirrors her personality--quiet and knowledgeable. In some ways, she reminds me of Rachel Jankovic, who wrote Loving the Little Years, Fit to Burst, and You Who: Who You Are and Why It Matters. These women lift small common life questions and carry them to the Light to find answers in Christ, or to simply learn from Him wiser ways to ask the questions. Then they write what they find, and share it with others, as older women teaching the younger, both growing by it. --Sheila Petre, Thirty Little Fingers
