We are privileged to have back with us - Shirley Melis and her memoir Banged-Up Heart . Readers and listeners of this book have had so many wonderful things to say about this inspiring story and now it's available on  Audible  ! Banged-Up Heart: Dancing with Love and Loss  is an intimate and clear-eyed account of finding love late and losing it early—and of the strength it takes to fall deeply in love a second time, be forced to relinquish that love too soon, and yet choose to love again.

Thank you WOW! Women on Writing for this opportunity to participate in this book blog tour - and thank you Tara Forst for today's insightful review. WOW! WOMEN ON WRITING TOUR OF Mindful Dementia Care Mindful Dementia Care is a book of stories and a book of love. It is a book without denial, without any papering over of the challenges that can be involved with being a caregiver, and the sadness, anger, and frustration they may bring. It is also a life-changing source of information that can revolutionize relationships with one of the most vulnerable populations in our midst.

Mindful Dementia Care illustrates alternative methods for making a difference and achieving results through care that honors the whole person. The key is creating an environment with countless enrichin...

Thank you to Tara Forst for today's review of: ”A Killer’s Grace” and thank you WOW! Women on Writing for allowing us this opportunity to participate in the book blog tour with Ronald Chapman. Review: Tara writes: I really enjoyed reading “A killer’s Grace” and following Pitcairn on his cathartic journey of understanding and forgiveness. Spurred by a letter he received from a convicted serial killer, Pitcairn dives into an uncharted world of self discover. This book brings a new light to the cycle of violence and mental illness, while constantly challenges what we as a society believe to be true about innocence. I very much appreciated how realistic the characters were. Chapman does an exquisite job drawing the reader into the emotions of each character and while illustrating character flaws with imagery describing past hurts through actions and reactions instead of simply stating them. Each communication drawing you further into an understanding of each character's unique...
