Magnificat has been a long time coming...

       After a long wait, during which the Pandemic came, my editor died of breast cancer, Innana Publications
       the company that was going to publish my book collapsed, I transferred everything to Friesenpress 
       because I thought I could get the book out faster than if I searched out a new publisher. Then I had a serious
       illness that lasted almost a year so I couldn't do my part of the self-publication work, so here we are. The 
       book is ready. It's in the queue to be printed. We are planning the online launch and looking for ways to set 
       up presentations in the fall.

        This book is my baby long over due. It shares so much of what I've learned over my life. I hold it out to
         you! Take it, read it. I hope you love the characters who, not literally but imaginatively have inhabited my
         life, based on my understanding of the real lives of people I have  met along the way.

        Justice seems now to me a forever goal. There was so much hope then many steps back. In those moments of
        grace, like  when this story is set, we have visions of hope, and  those hopes give impetus and courage
        and deep caring to us all for those more difficult times ahead.
