Life Threads - A Memoir (Hardcover) (ISBN-13: 9798897893799)

The core of this illuminating memoir consists of threads of consistency and learning that have emerged through Carol's life experiences. We learn, as she and her sister Linda did, of the constructive optimism of their parents and how that mindset underlies successfully facing life's struggles. Mistakes can be overcome. The burdens lift. Life is meant for living.

With well-balanced sensitivity and striking honesty, she frankly reveals the false starts in her career and her love life and how things worked out in the end. We gain perspective, as she did, through spirited tales of her life experiences.

Heart-wrenching events mix with moments of light, hope, and relief. Even the death of loved ones, people, and dogs doesn't have to be a downward pull, as Carol learned from her dad.

Carol has found that angels have an impact on our experiences, too. Although she has never seen an angel, her dogs saw several one evening.

Her experiences in finally finding and settling into her career, her love life, and several events that didn't seem significant, and some that did, all seem to fit together to form those surfacing life threads.
