The Stroke of Happiness (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781450274975)

Mary Stewart's day started like any other. Still reeling from her husband's infidelity and the subsequent end of her marriage, she answers the ringing phone-not knowing that the news she will soon receive will change the course of her entire life forever. Mary's mother has just suffered a debilitating stroke. After Mary's father summons her to return home to Edinburgh, Scotland, Mary swallows hard. Already in dire financial circumstances, she ignores her misgivings. Family must come first. She pays her landlord two months' rent and quickly boards an airplane, thinking she is leaving her life in Canada behind only temporarily. As Mary and her father reunite at her mother's bedside, they grow closer day-by-day while sharing and comparing their own unique challenges in life. Soon, the healing power of love transforms their fears and insecurities into comfort and inner peace. In this poignant story about faith, love, and devotion, one woman journeys full circle and soon discovers that true happiness is often realized when we least expect it.
