She said the book is starting to receive a wider distribution.
The book is available at www.amazon.com and through Tate Publishing, www.tatepublishing.com .

About The Book
Sometimes an ordinary day, or moment or event, can suddenly take an extraordinary turn and come to mean more, or teach you more, than you ever would have expected.
Have you ever had a mundane day turn into something spectacular? Have you ever been full of an anger you couldn’t let go of, then in a moment were freed from it? Do you have precious memories held deep inside? Have you ever had to give up a dream? Have you ever achieved a goal or a dream? Have you ever suffered a pain and hurt so intense you didn’t believe you could get through another day, but you did? Have you ever loved and lost? Have you ever had strong opinions yet find yourself in the minority? Have you ever felt you don’t belong? Have you ever experienced small miracles? Have you ever been touched by God and received joy no matter your circumstances? Mornings on the Porch is all these stories and more. Life as it touches us.
