This is the journey of a strong, independant, couragious woman.
Yes, Bob shared himself with the world and also other woman, but this lady, his wife, never turned her back on him.
Not only was she a mother to his many children but a constant source of comfort and 'home' to Bob.
This is her story.

A true story of sacrificial love shared by a man who loved his wife enough to take care of her during her long years entering the twilight zone of Alzheimers. How easy it is to say "I love you" when couples are healthy and the future looks bright. The true test of those three words is loving and caring "until death."

Alzheimers is a cruel disease - coming unexpectedly tho with small changes in a partner's demeanor at first.  Dr. McQuilkin writes his story of caregiving in a beautiful small book honoring his wife Muriel, including his poetry, drawing us into a world of both pleasure and love-testing. I loved the book with its spiritual message. As one who is also keeping my long ago promise, this lovely book of sharing lessons learned from the author's happy marriage is inspiring, truthful, and so welcome. I recommend it highly.

What an endearing tale of love and devotion.  A wife fighting for her life and watches as her best friend and neighbor falls in love with her sexy husband.
The devotion of both husband and Eva, friend and neighbor is so heart warming. A touching story about love, loyalty and guilt and the struggle to be constant and true.  The graphics are really excellent and being a comic strip format it is a quick read while dealing with life, death also the mechanics that goes into a intimate relationship.

I am thoroughly touched by the presence of our  God in your heart. He has given you such extraordinary guidance throughout your personel life and the lives of millions of others.  You are a hero in my eyes and i am thankful that you were my protector when i was too young to really comprahend what we were facing.  I always trusted you and having a beautiful/intelligent wife helped me develope my first understanding of how important it is to decide on the right president.. Thank you for trusting in yourself(God's gift to you)! I feel a desire to learn more and uphold your hopes for us.

Not only did this wonderful woman share her heart, her youthful strength, energy, and faith with communities in Ethiopia and Ghana as a missionary with her husband and children; she shares her memories of those years in this wonderful little book.  And in doing so, she touches our hearts as well, and reminds us that God is ever ready to answer our needs in ways we could never foresee. Sweet, humble, inspiring, poignant, funny, and deeply moving. I want to hug her and all of the wonderful people she wrote about.

The author, Irene Spencer, was born to write.  I couldn't put this book down because her life was so very interesting and she described it so well.  I love this lady because she is so full of life and is a happy lady when she lives a "normal" life with just one husband.  Her plural husband was killed in a car accident and it was so great for her because she was left with all her many children who adore her and then she met a man who was perfect for her having lived "the life" for many years.  They both are lucky before this loving man died but she has her memories of him and her children, her life is full because she is now a full fledged writer.  I would read anything she writes, that's just how good she is.  In reading her books I feel I am right there, feeling her feelings and seeing what she sees.  Irene! write another book now, another one about your life in Mexico because I'm sure you didn't capture everything that happened during those years.  Please!  I think we are the same age (75) and I really love you, Irene.  "Shattered Dreams" was excellent as well and I read them in sequence.  Do you have any more out there I haven't found yet?  Irene, I know you have another book in you and I'm dying to read it.  I love your children too, and think they are lucky to have such a wonderful mother.  I wouldn't want to be a plural wife but if I had been, I'd love to have been your neighbor back then (If I were Mormon).  Your sense of humor is amazing.  I would want to be the one who enjoyed that iced cold coke with you every afternoon, share our meals with our children and frustrations about our husbands.

She will always be my super hero. I cry today because she was taken from us so soon.
Rue's mommy and daddy dedicated their heart and soul into saving this sweet, sweet baby.  So many unknowns before she was adopted into her fur-ever home.  All you can do is love them and hope everything works out for the best.
Super Rue's Adventures is heartwarming. Thank you for sharing her precious life with us.
Blessing.

The book is a testament to love, faith and the determination to live life to the fullest by a woman who faced illness and tragedy many times over. Mary Alice never gave up, never gave in and the love she shared with her husband seems like something few ever find.  John's telling of the story of his wife's life, and their life together, is touching and endearing.

Neva Shilling is a loving and dedicated wife.  She works hard while her husband is traveling and selling items from his wagon.  It is the middle of the Depression and times are hard, but her husband provides well for her.  She would trade it all in though for more time with her husband.  She faithfully cares for their twins and runs the Shilling Mercantile.

She is preparing a special dinner for the return of her husband when a wagon pulls up.  Instead of seeing her beloved husband she is greeted by a deputy delivery three young children into her care.  The sheriff informs Neva that her brother Warren and his wife has passed and his last wishes for her to care for their three children.

Neva's world comes crashing down around her as she realizes that her husband had a secret family and his long travels where really about him spending time with his other family.  She wants nothing more than to forget about Warren, but how can she allow innocent children to be sent to an orphanage?  If she takes them in will she ever be able to love them or will they be a constant reminder of her husband's betrayal?

Room for Hope by Kim Vogel Sawyer is a beautiful written novel.  Kim Vogel Sawyer is my favorite author and this book is the perfect example as to why I love her books!  She grabs the readers by the heartstrings.  This book told the story from different points of views and I enjoyed reading how each of the characters, including the children where dealing with their circumstances.

One of my favorite things about Mrs. Sawyers books is that she intertwines a deep faith in God in all her stories.  If you haven't read any of her books I urge you to do so.  You will be touched and encouraged!

***Thank you to bloggingforbooks.com for providing me with a copy of this book in exchange for my honest review.

I have read Mrs. Irene Hanley's book "Israel, o my People" back in 1991. Mrs. Hanley fell in love with Jesus her Savior and is sharing this love with everyone that she was in contact with. Her desire to see her Jewish family and friends saved was just out of this world. I am happy to find more copies of her book to share with friends. I thank God for her and I rejoice that she is now in the presence of Jesus that she loved so deeply.
I Praise God for this beautiful Jewish saint and the Ministry that she had during her life.
In Jesus love.
