Seasons of a Woman's Heart
A Daybook of Stories and Inspiration

Edited by Lynn D. Morrissey

"We cover our ears to block the noise and confusion, but in the process, we no longer hear the music. And then, like a whippoorwill's trill in early spring, comes another harbinger of hope - the heart's cry of our sister of the heart - then another and another. Sisters who have gone before, now come alongside to sing with us in chorus" (Lynn D. Morrissey). Seasons of a Woman's Heart will inspire you to listen for that music, through the voices of women telling their own stories.
