Chicken Soup for the Woman's Soul [antikvár]

ntroduction This book has been a gift to us. From the moment it was conceived, we have felt the love, joy and indomitable spirit of women every step of the way. Our hope is that this book will be a gift to you as well. For many years the four of us have been speaking to audiences—often women's audiences—about living our lives more fully and joyfully. We've been inspired, even overwhelmed, by how eager women are to share their hearts, their stories and their lessons. It is from this inspiration that Chicken Soup for the Woman's Soul was born. We experienced miracles every day in the creation of this book! We felt as if an invisible hand was guiding us along the way. For example, we searched for more than a year for PhylUs Volkens, the author of "A Goodnight Kiss," to get her permission to use her story. We finally located a distant cousin, who told us that PhylHs and her husband had moved to Iowa, where they were living only miles from Jennifer and Marci! More remarkable, however, was the response of Phylhs's husband, Stanley, when we called. He told us how happy he was we had found them. They had been Chicken Soup for the Sow/ fans for years, but PhyUis had only about one week to live. He couldn't wait XIX
