"Hardin challenges readers to recognize the life season they're in, accept it, reflect on it, and abandon anything that hinders them in achieving a vibrant life. Stories deal with heart issues For women. Childlessness, pain (personal and corporate), and children and grandchildren are some topics covered. Each "season" ends with an account of a biblical woman exemplifying the season. Accompanying prayer and action steps give closure to the story and season. Beautiful artwork highlights the stories. I recommend this quality gift book to women, especially those entering midlife."
