Tattoos of the Heart - A Matter of Life and Death and Points of Interest In-Between (Hardcover)

"Tattoos of the Heart" is the painfully true story of one woman's search through the debris of her past as she sought to bridge the gap between the past and present. It is the compelling story of how events and her choices led to indelible "tattoos" upon her heart.

It is the story of a woman who was emotionally damaged by her perceived abandonment as a baby in a hospital isolation ward. Spanning infancy to her late fifty's, her story chronicles her perilous journey as she seeks to find her way. She endured multiple marriages, divorces, spousal abuse, and the loss of her children.

Eventually, this woman, who was prone to bad choices, learned from her mistakes as she moved forward with courage and simple faith. She tells her story in a dramatic, no-nonsense narrative that stresses her acceptance of responsibility for the role she played in the melodrama of her life. She credits her survival to God's redeeming power, infinite mercy and grace that sustained her.

In addition to the main story line, there are inspirational poems by the author; three previously published. Nuggets of insight gained over the years and excerpts from her eldest son's writings are included.
