Produktbeschreibung

The TRUE story of a Midwestern Honky-Tonk gal who drank too much, parented too little, wrote country songs, and married 7 times . . . she was my mother!

Forgive those you love ... Before it's too late.

Parental relationships can be challenging. Dorenda understands that better than most. As a child with a beautiful, talented mother who married seven times, drank too much, and parented too little -- whom she loved, but did not like -- life growing up was not always easy.

Years later, she came to realize that difficult dynamics continue to affect and harm our lives and current relationships. While writing her mom's eulogy, she recognized there is no such thing as "burying the past."

It was a rude awakening to discover that her mother had ultimately taught her the most important lessons we, humans, can learn in life:

• forgive unconditionally, even what you can't forget.
• love without judgment.

Dorenda offers her story of healing and forgiveness as she discovered that her mom was actually a pretty likable, remarkable, and admirable person. She just had to get to know her.

This memoir is for anyone who had a difficult or traumatic childhood because of alcohol, abuse, divorce, neglect or poverty. Most especially, this book is for anyone who needs forgiveness and healing in their life.

Don't let past hurts--abuse, poverty, divorce, neglect, alcohol, or whatever it is you can't forget--rob you of your joy and happiness now. Join the author as she forged her own path to unconditional forgiveness.

With three rescues of her own (Shadow, Murphy, and Taco), she supports and advocates for animal rescue in her spare time.

Biking and hiking take up the rest of her free time, with week-long bicycling trips being a yearly indulgence. Her bucket list includes visiting all 63 National Parks and biking a "century" (100 miles in one day; so far, 77 is her best). She and her husband, Jimmy, travel as much as possible with the entire extended family of sixteen, including her 92-year-young mom-in-law. It's these adventures on which she will base her future children's chapter book series, Adventures With Grandma.
