WOW, I've learned some things

I didn't expect to find the richness that I read in this book. It is an honest look at a woman's journey through extended family living but to me more... a woman trying to follow God, whatever the cost. If only more people were like this. But different than some other books I've read that paints a person as someone above personal trials, or someone who knows all the answers, this author readily admits shortcomings, trials, frustrations and a person on a journey for a deeper relationship with God.I believe I've already been processing some things in my own life, that will help me appreciate life more and turn to God more. No matter where someone is on their journey in life and faith I think this is a good read!!!
