God Never Blinks: 50 Lessons for Life's Little Detours hits the bookstores on April 13.
I hope you'll enjoy it.
My book is a collection of essays and stories that tell about the 50 lessons life taught me. Yes, I'm the author of that column that became an internet sensation. People from Australia to Zimbabwe have given it out at family reunions and weddings. They've tucked it in wallets, pinned it to work cubicles and stuck it under refrigerator magnets. Preachers have quoted it from pulpits, readers have posted it on thousands of blogs and small town papers have reprinted it all over the country.
The book is already a hit. Grand Central Publishing, a division of Hachette Book Group (formerly Time Warner), has sold foreign rights to Brazil, Canada, Japan, Korea, Poland, Portugal, Sweden, Taiwan and the United Kingdom.
You can learn more about the book here. You can read more about my life lessons and yours, on myblog. You can also read the columns I write for The Plain Dealer, Ohio's largest newspaper. You can enjoy hearing more about my life lessons and yours, on my blog.
Before my writing career, I worked as a waitress, ambulance attendant, alcoholism counselor, legal secretary and for a while picked up bodies for a funeral home. I'm from a family of 11 children - I'm one of the many in the middle. I grew up in a small town in Ohio where I got lost on a lot of life detours. The two most unexpected detours in my life - becoming an unwed mother at 21 and a breast cancer survivor at 41 - turned into two of the most amazing gifts of my life and taught me many of these life lessons.
