Monday Morning Blues is a modern romance, the story of Val and Jeff, a 40-something couple who face one of marriage's toughest challenges, infidelity. Caught up in the routine of working and raising a family, they, like many couples, lose sight of each other and become victims of the temptation and advice of outsiders. This is a realistic romance, closer to home than many of us are willing to admit. There are no thugs, no drugs, no guns, and no murders, just a well-written story about two people who really love each other. Add to the mix a pair of precocious children, a crazy girlfriend or two, and a Bible-toting in-law, and you will find yourself laughing out loud and rooting for the sanctity of the home front. This is a book that will inspire true romantics to put the fire back into their own relationships as they gain insights on how we love as we grow older.Guided by days-of-the-week chapter headings, and the assumption that bad things happen on Mondays, Monday Morning Blues will convince you to take a second look at how your week is going. Have a great Monday (Morning Blues, that is)!

Life, like grief, has its own set of seasons. We must all eventually face them head on, in our own time and at our own pace. No matter what our loss, we must learn how to endure and survive our seasons in order to live fully again. I lost my husband of forty-one years to sarcoidosis. I found my comfort in writing, a skill he had encouraged me to develop after I retired from teaching. After two years, I turned the 800 pages I had journaled into my fifth book, Seasons. I selected my best passages and organized them into four sections: summer, winter, autumn, and spring, recounting his illness, his death, and the year that followed. This is the true story of my journey through my own seasons of grief. If you've lost a loved one, especially a spouse, you might gain some insight from my journey.
