Whisper from the Ocean
We all hope for peace and happiness in our lives. But as women living in a fast-paced world of productivity, we rarely have time to stop and listen to our inner selves, to the wants and desires we once had for our lives or to new ideas still forming within us--as abundant as the waters of the ocean, but quieted over time--into more of a whisper. A collection of treasured quotes pulled from the pages of Christine Lemmon's novels, Whisper from the Ocean , is more than a book. It's like Lemmon is handing us a pail by the seashore, filled to the rim with revitalizing pearls of womanly wisdom, glistening bits of heart and mind, and thought-provoking illuminations related to solitude and inspiration; spirituality and creativity; passion and productivity; marriage and motherhood; sacrifice and identity; contentment and joy.

CHRISTINE LEMMON grew up in Saugatuck, Michigan, in a house attached to her family’s ice-cream shop and bed & breakfast. From childhood on, she wrote feverishly in her diaries. After graduating from Hope College, she moved around the country writing for radio, newspaper, television, and magazines. She also worked as a publicist for a nonfiction publishing house in northern California.
As well as writing novels, she enjoys taking walks through nature preserves, and boating with friends and family along Florida’s Gulf Coast. Not only is Sanibel the setting for her novels, it was the setting for her life for nearly two decades, and she is incredibly thankful to have raised her family in the close-knit island community.
She speaks at events, including book clubs, and loves connecting with her readers. Visit her online at www.ChristineLemmon.com.

If ever there was a book that had ADHD it is this book! Basically it is a collection of lines, snippets, and paragraphs on various themes regarding life, but it is just so all over the place! I did enjoy many of the sayings, but just as I found myself enjoying something, off in another direction the next saying would go, leaving me sitting there thinking "huh?". It was like reading a pile of fortune cookie fortunes, where while they were interesting, they just didn't tie together.
Also annoying was how every so often in the book (which I read on my kindle), I would turn the page and get a full page ad for a different book written by this author with a link saying "Buy Now for just $2.99". That is a mood killer too! Put your ads for your other books at the end of a book if you must, but don't throw them in the book every 30-40 pages too.
