This author explores her inner and outer worlds through longhand journaling, a practice maintained since childhood. Her life experiences, from perilous adventures to building houses and raising children—including one with a rare diagnosis—have shaped her as a storyteller. This diversity of experience fuels her drive to share the stories that won't stay quiet, approaching both writing and editing with a deep appreciation, finding fulfillment in the craft. Her writing reflects a life embraced with gusto and optimism.
With her body still recovering from last year's cancer treatments, Leigh Tressman is determined to be independent. Despite the interference from her overprotective brother, physical frustrations, and spiritual dilemmas-- not to mention the ever expanding line of young men ready to fall in love with her-- Leigh discovers what it actually means to stand on her own and learns that love can be found in unexpected but delightful places.
