Half Full: 40 Inspiring Stories of Optimism, Hope, and Faith
by Azriela Jaffe
Category: Self-Help

When the Worst Happens -- and it Always Does, sooner or later -- that worst possible thing often turns out to be a blessing in disguise. In this brave and cheerful little volume, you'll find forty of these blessings in disguise -- moving, true stories in which people just like you and me gather their courage and overcome their hardships with optimism and grace. You'll meet: Layota Maddox, an impoverished, disabled girl with no use of any joints in her body except her neck, who writes out her story with a pencil in her mouth poking at a computer keyboard. Rise Kittle, single parent to four boys of her own, who suddenly finds herself mother to four little girls. Theresa Blume, whose deafness actually enhances her life. And many, many more. With author Azriela Jaffe as your guide, you'll draw inspiration and strength from these astonishing and life-affirming stories, which bear the promise that yes, the glass really is half full.
