| Publisher Description: INDIE EXCELLENCE AWARD winner for "Inspiration" Just add coffee...and sigh Adding a portfolio of her stunning nature photos to her second collection of award-winning and inspiring essays, author Mary T. Wagner again takes her readers on a tour of ordinary moments viewed with extraordinary grace. Whether reflecting on the view from the steep side of a dormant volcano or enjoying the cleansing effect of a good bonfire after a post-divorce garage cleaning, these essays conjure what one reviewer called "life writing at its best.." Following in the spike-heeled footsteps of Wagner's critically acclaimed debut essay collection, "Running with Stilettos," this amusing, touching and heartfelt collection of inspiring and empowering essays unfolds in a voice described as "bed time tales for grownups" and "the Midwest's answer to Carrie Bradshaw." Wagner (once a journalist and now a prosecuting attorney) writes for the modern woman who deftly juggles career, family, love and chocolate all at once...and still sees the whole stack come crashing down from time to time. Weaving tales of humor and heartbreak, triumph and tragedy, Wagner brings her readers along as she savors the post-divorce view from the back seat of a Harley, reflects on the maternal importance of "theme" cupcakes, gets back on a horse after a terrible, life-changing riding accident, and keeps a vigil by her father's deathbed. She also shares her inspiring journey from stay-at-home soccer mom to arguing cases before the state supreme court...after an accident that put her in a body cast for three months. For every busy woman who's asked herself "is there one more goal I can shoot for?"...and then answered "YES " |
