Rave Reviews and Recipies

My Review today is on the book,

A Year by the Sea written by Joan Anderson.

I was given this book by a wonderful friend and women named Deb Hibberd. I met Deb several years back when our daughter's rodeo ed and we would see each other during barrel racing futurity's throughout the west.

Since then we have reconnected because of a group of ladies that love to ride the back country. Deb is a single strong women that has built many wonderful properties to spend time with nature and her horses. One in Victor Idaho by Jackson Hole Wyoming and the other in Wickenburg Arizona. I have been to both ranches and rode with her and our friends, we have the most wonderful experiences on these retreats.

During our discussion times we talk about books we like, this is when she passed the book on to me for reading, I have since passed it on to other friends. My friend Jacqueline reminded me about Dave Stamey's concert where he signs a book he reads and hands it to someone who will promise to read it, sign it, and pass it on to another interested person. A book club of sorts. What a great idea, so lets all do that, it will be great fun to see what circles back around.

Now back to my book review. Great Chick book! This true story is about Joan herself in a entrancing story of how one woman's journey of self-discovery gave her the courage to persevere in re-creating her life.

Joan was a loving wife supportive mother, and slowly and unconsciously replaced her own dreams with the needs of her family. With her sons grown, however, she realized that the family no longer centered on the home she provided, and her relationship with her husband had become stagnant. Joan realized that she had neglected to nurture herself and, wore, to envision fulfilling goals of her future.

She refused to follow her husband to his new job and decided to retreat to a family cottage on Cape Cod. This book is about the year she spent by the sea re-discovering her self.

This is a wonderful book for women to follow along Joan's journey that brings her to a better understanding of herself, and as she does so will you.

The steps that Joan took to revitalize herself and rediscover her potential have helped thousands of woman revel and release untapped resources within themselves.

I give it Rave Reviews, and one WARNING, you won't be able to put it down.

Happy Reading,

Danna
