NEW BOOK - A LITTLE BIT OF WONDERFUL (A Novel With an Unexpected Glimpse into the Future...)

In A LITTLE BIT OF WONDERFUL, Sarah Hogan is suddenly thrust into the role of single mother of four. From the numbing influence of dependence on prescription drugs to the tremendous worry over her runaway son, Sarah flounders as she tries to get through each day. It is only after a horrible brush with death that a very special man in Sarah's life helps her understand that relying on God for everything is the only way to get through any of it.

A LITTLE BIT OF WONDERFUL begins with Jonathan Hogan's announcement to his wife that he wants a divorce. Upon hearing this news, Sarah Hogan is stunned and angry. After all, they've been married almost twenty years! How will she support herself and her four children? What else is she trained to do except be a homemaker?

Jonathan laughs at Sarah's decision to start a catering business, but Sarah finds support for her business, Sarah's Kitchen, from her next-door neighbor and best friend, Joan Anderson. When Sarah's heavy use of sleeping pills is discovered, Joan confronts her, then helps her through the withdrawal period.

Sarah struggles to make a success of Sarah's Kitchen, and unexpectedly finds love in the process. Her casual relationship with Jeff Matthews slowly develops into something very special. Jeff tries to share his faith with Sarah, but she doesn't seem too interested. Everyone is elated about Sarah and Jeff's engagement except for Sarah's fifteen-year-old son, Paul. After he runs away from home, Paul finally realizes that Jeff cares more about their family than his own father does.

Wedding plans proceed smoothly in spite of a very hectic holiday season for Sarah's Kitchen, and then a horrendous auto accident leaves Sarah badly injured. While recuperating in the hospital, Sarah finally understands that only God can give her the strength to get through each day.

The author states that writing A LITTLE BIT OF WONDERFUL took her on an unexpected and blessed journey to her future.
