The divorce, such a tragedy at the time, changed her life and a new strength emerged.  She found the force to get a doctorate when she had no money and three young children, the passion to forge a creative career in higher education, and the power to enjoy the magic and mystery of life. This book will inspire beyond the walls of the kitchen to explore what is possible.  Listen in as she tells you about her book and her motivations.
