Description
“Pour a cup of coffee, make yourself comfortable, and I’ll introduce you to some of my favorite women.” Thus begins A View from My Window, a heart-warming collection of personal reflections by Sylvia Forrest. If you are looking for stories that every woman can relate to, regardless of age, you have found them here. In the book's three sections (Womanhood, Motherhood and Grandmothers), Forrest shares tales about making choices, building relationships, and learning from others –whether they be passing acquaintances or intimate friends. Forrest writes in a personal, conversational tone with deliberate honesty and light-hearted acceptance of human weaknesses, including her own. Readers will recognize situations that they, too, have experienced, and become acquainted with women very much like the ones in their own lives. Pick this book up anytime for a good dose of insight and inspiration to help you along life's journey.
Advance Praise
"This book is the perfect gift for anyone going through a loss or a life change. The stories are about people that you know (or would like to), and the author has a beautiful way of reminding us to treasure small things and stop getting hung up on things that seem big, but really aren't. This is one of the books that I will turn to when I need a pick-me-up or a thought for the day. I highly recommend it! "
"This book was given to me by a woman with whom I have only recently become friends, so I wasn't sure what to expect. I must say that the author of this book has an incredible gift to offer! One moment I was entranced by the smorgasbord of food for thought that Forrest's keen perspective has to offer (throughout the entire book)... and the next moment I was laughing uproariously - literally - at her metaphoric and "sharp as a tack" descriptions. "A View From My Window" offers reflection, introspection and wonderful memories of days gone by. I highly recommend it!" FOUR STARS
Forrest nails it in every section of her book.
A View from My Window is a warm, wise, exceptionally well-written compilation of stories, one that is sure to strike a chord with every woman, no matter what stage of her life she happens to be navigating.
