Book Description
As we get older, many of us look back and wonder about the value of our lives and the ripples that resulted from decisions we made. We consider what sets us apart from others—and what we have in common with them. This personal narrative shares the life story of an ordinary woman: author Audrey Brown Lightbody. She lays out the fragments that make up the various parts of her life. Though she traces her journey chronologically, the contents in each section are disconnected fragments within the story—bits and pieces that fit into the categories of family, home, work, and faith matters. Lightbody demonstrates how life events and choices made have created a woman who has lived not an unusual life, but an interesting one. She is a woman who has trusted God to lead her, through the various fragments of her life, into service in God’s kingdom. Including both poetry and prose, this memoir explores the choices that one woman made trying to live her life within God’s plan and their effects on her life with her family and in the world.

Book Description
Jessie’s father has always been a missing piece of her life—but if she were to find him, how would he feel about her? Jessie Wells thinks four is a good number. Things with four sides are sturdy and strong. A box, a chair, a room with four walls. But ever since the day Jessie’s dad left, Jessie, her mother, and Aunt Zis have been a triangle—three-sided, though solidly linked. Jessie has heard the story: Her beautiful young mother had married a prince who disappeared one day, so she had raised her daughter with the help of Aunt Zis. But lately, the picture in Jessie’s mind seems incomplete. Who is James Wells? she wonders. He must be more than just a deadbeat dad who deserted his wife and child, and Jessie is determined to find out, even if she has to call every Wells in the phone book—and there are a lot of them. But if Jessie finds her father and asks him all her questions, will she like the answers?
