Synopsis (from Amazon): Courage and a Castle offers a unique and compassionate look at the human condition. The book opens with a poignant story about the author’s mother, Mary, near the end of her life and then reaches back to where Mary's memory no longer can. The book explores Mary's strength of character and strong work ethic that served as cornerstones for her future.
Early in her marriage to the love of her life, Mary became the sole breadwinner for their family of eight. Through family tragedies and life-threatening conditions, she met life's challenges with abiding faith, resilience, and kindness. Despite being severely affected by a brain bleed and later Alzheimer's, Mary adapted, and her spirit, faith, and unconditional love remained constant.
A heartwarming, inspirational, and, at times, humorous account of a life well lived, a life that inspired and touched many.
One (or more) Sentence Summary: I really love that Courage and a Castle was a tribute to the author's mother. It is very clear just how strong and amazing Mary was during her life. She was faced with manage challenges and her love for her family and belief in her faith she was resilient. It was clear how much Wanita (author) loved her mother and family.
The book is made up of short stories that reflect on Mary and those close to her and is an easy and fast read. Every story is packed with meaning.
I have always wanted to write a book as tribute to my mother. She passed away way too early and I have always wanted others to know just how amazing she was. I am extremely jealous that Wanita was able to do so for her mother. Amazing job and I am sure Mary is looking down with such pride.
