Postcards from the Widows’ Path is the only book that looks at Ruth through the eyes of a widow.

The chapters are short ---I know the last thing most of us want to do is read a book! Creative "postcards" at the beginning of each chapter draw you in and hope begins.

A note from your mom in your lunchbox because she knew you’d be having an especially hard day at school. A text from a fellow baseball mom just to say you were on her mind. A lipstick heart that your daughter drew on your bathroom mirror. An unexpected card from a childhood friend.

Sister in Christ, I Need You is a collection...
