So.... What's Your Book About?

That's the question I keep getting from friends and relatives who are excited over my news about the publication of The Girl in a Whirl. A friend of mine who had seen the couple of lines written in the Amazon description, then read reviews on the book said, "It sounds so wonderful from what people are saying! But what's it about?"

Well, the part of the description that says, "it's full of humorous insights about being an LDS woman, family stuff, and this & that about life" is fairly accurate. The subjects included in the book are pretty random, kind of like life is. Here are just some of the topics:

Misunderstood Primary lessons,
being late,
TV,
Good intentions for diet & exercise,
hamsters, snakes and other pets,
the Sabbath day,
guys and sports,
embarrassing things that happen sometimes,
teenagers,
"Mormon foods" like JELL-O,
living prophets,
how things happen day-to-day
that apparently "nobody" did,
being organized--or not,
accidentally wearing two different shoes,
Halloween candy,
unmatched socks,
learning how to hear the promptings of the Spirit,
kids and food,
unexpected callings,
faithfully following Christ,
and lots more!

But although a lot of it is fun and funny, overall:

It will help you feel encouraged,

strengthened, and reassured

of your ability to be a faithful follower of Christ

regardless of what your circumstances are.

And although it takes a humorous path to get there, THAT'S what this book in really about.

There! Now you know. =o)
