This collection stitches together stories from the fabric of life. These unadorned personal essays embrace gardening, sewing, farming, parenting, and friendship. Spanning thirty years, they touch on the author¿s transition from California Valley Girl to rural life, and her desire to sample from a smorgasbord rather than sit down to a prix fixe meal.

Imagine being ridiculed or marginalized because of something outside of your control. Also imagine growing up with a very beautiful, popular sibling whom everyone just adored. For most of her life Leah endured such circumstances. She is described as tender-eyed while her younger sister, Rachel, is described as beautiful and highly favored. If you can imagine these things, then you can understand what life must have been like for Leah. What Leah did not imagine was what God had in store for her! You will rejoice with Leah, as well as be encouraged, when you discover how God deals with her situation.

"We probably are faced with many hard tests, and it seems like there is no end;We cry, and we pray & wonder how long as we talk to our one, true Friend.Some trials tend to linger and make us strong while others end quickly to our surprise;They are all tailor-made just for us and to help us finally realize.Christ Jesus was our prime example of enduring while here below;He lived on this Earth for thirty-three blessed years as He boldly told the devil, "NO."Why should we be any different, if we read God's word, it will tell us what to do;God's grace, strength & victory will be awarded to us when we go "On The Other Side of Through!"Cynthia D.
