Sarah Parshall Perry gets that. She also gets weird things showing up in her bed, her daughter asking for war paint, and her son crawling into a giant blue sock on Christmas morning. Mainly, she gets that conflicted feeling of finding her kids hanging out in the dogs' cages and happily realizing they have stopped getting into trouble for a minute. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eAccording to Perry, \"The hardest stuff is the quickest way to God,\" and readers get to watch the systematic destruction of her carefully planned life, laughing at her missteps, aching at her tragedies, and recognizing themselves along the way.

Life's a mess. But as Perry reminds us, it's all for a purpose. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003ePerfect for mothers, this book will encourage, inspire, and enlighten.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Sarah Parshall Perry\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Fleming H.
