"The book amazed me" (Writers Digest judge)

Bringing her trademark candor, wry wit, and warmth to a life led by God, award-winning author Margaret Agard gives us a smart, funny and timeless memoir appealing to both skeptics and believers, alike.

A new marriage; two sons facing the tumultuous teen years; work as a computer consultant. And now assigned to oversee care for all the women of her church from the new young mothers to grieving widows, Margaret Agard is overwhelmed with her five page to-do list. She makes the daily decision to turn the list over to God. Her life is quickly filled with experiences both touching and quirky from hospital visits to screaming peacocks culminating in her astonishing changed relationship with God.

Filled with captivating characters, familiar to anyone involved in community, down to earth spirituality, and sparkling stories of life with Parker and the boys, Agard brings both profound insight and self-deprecating humor to the simplest of life's moments.

Each finely crafted piece illuminates the small and great events of a woman's life with strength and compassion while the whole creates a memorable experience, that lingers long after the memoir is finished.
