This book is for women in the middle of their lives. We share memories of those we love, some already gone from our lives, which often run through our minds as we consider the past. One story reminisces about handed-down recipes, penciled reminders of a mother's love. As memories fade, the surprising life perspectives of a mother become an unexpected gift to her daughter. Finally, you will be inspired by the story of an overburdened child receiving peace and joy through a long-ago answered Christmas prayer and the recognition of how the contributions of others help us navigate the middle of our lives.
