It is 1944, and Margaret Montgomery is pregnant with twin boys. In the midst of World War II, her husband, Lt. Colonel Henry Montgomery is stationed overseas. As Margaret is giving birth to their sons, Henry's lover, Ma Le, is giving birth to a daughter in the confines of a thatched hut in Indonesia. Henry promises to bring Ma Le and the baby to the States. To ensure her passage to a new life, however, Ma Le commits a horrific act-one that changes her forever. Margaret, unaware of her husband's betrayal, often relies upon the kindness and resources of their close friend James Walsh, who gives her an inscribed locket while Henry is still overseas. When he returns, their years together become difficult, and it is James's locket that helps guide her through the storms of life and eventually sends her into a safe harbor. This historical novel follows the lives of two women as they raise their children, who share a father, and make their ways in a difficult world.

Do you struggle with anxiety, fuzzy-brain, fatigue, and headaches? These are only some of the symptoms plaguing menopausal women. With such menacing symptoms, concentration on long, drawn out Bible Studies is often impossible. Many women feel guilty and often force themselves to muddle through, gaining nothing but frustration from the experience. For Sanity's Sake is a 365-day survival guide for women experiencing moderate to severe symptoms of perimenopause. Each daily devotion is designed to help women cope spiritually and emotionally with daily hormonal fluctuations and distractions. Women struggling with severe hormonal imbalances often struggle with deciphering the right or wrong of their emotions. Even when they know the right or wrong, their extreme emotional state makes it difficult to always choose God's way. Everything women need to persevere through menopause is provided through the power of the Holy Spirit, and it is imperative that women learn how to launch a counter attack against their fleshly emotions. For Sanity's Sake provides that added spiritual boost needed to fight and ultimately win each daily battle. Through personal experiences, experiences of other women (and men), and Bible characters, this daily devotional helps women come to a realization that they are not alone in their menopausal struggles and that the best years of their lives are yet to come.
