| Publisher Description: Follow the eccentric and amazing journey of the 2011 Nebraska Mother of the Year, Charlotte Endorf. My Wooden Spoon will warm your soul with the urge to concentrate on the joys of living. Here are a handful of people God placed in her path whose extraordinary stories will surely motivate readers around the world. The chapters in this book are similar to a favorite wooden spoon. They are the most trustworthy, and the most loyal () who God chose for Charlotte to write about. Meet Jerrett, who survived the devastating tornado at the Little Sioux Scout Ranch on June 11, 2008 and got to visit the President; Jerry who served in the Peace Corps and learned how a winery operates; and Darla, with orphan roots, who as an adult started a church that gathers on the river bank at Brooky Bottom in Northeast Nebraska. There are also touching stories, including one about Matthew, who developed infantile spasms or seizures from a DPT shot when he was two months old. Mixed in, for good measure, are () many inspirational quotes and Bible verses(). Culled from hours of wide-ranging interviews, this collection of lovingly detailed "snapshots" of real-life personalities (and the actual journey Charlotte has taken in 2011) is perfect for raising spirits and sharing with loved ones. Remarkable and heartwarming, My Wooden Spoon reminds us that the stories and experiences we pick up along the road of life are truly important. "A rich mixture of adventure, tragedy, and healing. A journey you simply must not miss." -Dave Papstein, businessman |
