Joy Interrupted: An Anthology of Motherhood and Loss

Coming soon in October 2012: Over fifty artists and authors from three continents have contributed their work to this anthology.  Many of them chronicle heart-wrenching losses as mothers, while others explore inspirational aspects of overcoming grief in light of personal loss.  This subject has not been dealt with in many books, so this anthology is especially important for readers interested in the topic of motherhood and loss.  List of Contributors: Merrill Edlund  Aliki Economides  Monika Pant  Grace Benedict  Chris Reid  Paul Salvette Terri Elders Liz Dolan Mark Moore Lottie Cellini-Corley Thomas Gibbs Sandra Kolankiewicz Megan Moore Valerie Murrenus Pilmaier Anna Steen Katie Arosteguy Kim Hensley Owens Cara S.
