Now is the Time

Now Is The Time is an excellent example how we can help each other through a faith of deeds and not just words. This book tells of a problem many women face and how to deal with the anxiety that the surgery produces. The myths that Sarah Calotti was brought up believing are common and touch many women's lives. Anytime you have surgery people are more than glad to share "tales." Our everyday lives would be so much less stressful if we only went to God in prayer.

A Superb Storyteller Joins the Ranks

One of my regular, weekly pursuits is to check the new book lists to see if Anita Shreve, Rosamund Pilcher, or Anita Diamant has published any new books. Why? They have an incredible talent for weaving everyday struggles of real people into very readable and uplifting stories. Gail Pallotta exhibits this same gift. Using the first person, Ms. Pallotta pulls us into the world of Sarah Calotti: wife, mother, sister, and daughter, who learns that she must have, what health professionals would deem, a routine surgery for mature women. The anxiety this upcoming event produces for Sarah exposes many underlying fears cultivated within this sensitive woman since childhood. The complex dynamics of human beings can only be embraced if we try to accept the mysteries of life. This message of the human spirit: of having faith in the creator of life and confirming that faith is the only clear path to achieving a level of peace, is clearly communicated in Ms. Pallotta's heart felt story.
