Dr. Leona Stucky’s WOW! WOMEN ON WRITING TOUR OF The Fog of Faith Stops today at Bring on Lemons with a review by Michelle DelPonte 5 Star Review: In so many ways, I am speechless. The life that Dr. Leona Stucky has not only survived, but thrived with, is astounding. “The Fog of Faith Surviving My Impotent God” has taken me on a roller coaster ride of emotions that I never expected to feel.
