Beyond Expectations (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9798888388860)

Beyond Expectations inspires and heartens when a child, who once fretted bedtime monsters, strikes out to find many great and wonderous things; offers a breath-holding moment as spring fledglings teeter on the edge of their first precarious flight; affirms an aging community's wry world-wisdom, underscoring the unaltering lines of human nature's playbook. Even when expectations become reality-dimmed, unforeseen lessons and unimagined gratitude, often tinged with humor, frequently emerge. This collection was inspired by an observant and sage mother of a past generation who resolutely overcame her own society's presumptions, proving that life always holds promises well beyond our expectations.
