A Journal in a Jar by Erin Rose Donnegan, comprised of a mother's life-affirming answers to her daughter's questions, proposes a new message of hope
DENVER (MMD Newswire) February 26, 2010 -- A Journal in a Jar by Erin Rose Donnegan is a memoir of a single mother who meets the odds, seizes the silver lining and brims with gentle wisdom for her daughter. Donnegan's daughter gave her mother a jar filled with questions written on scraps of paper and a blank journal, hoping to gain perspective and insight. Now, in A Journal in a Jar, Donnegan responds to each inquiry, expressing her joy and optimism about life, and imparting her wisdom along the way. A caregiver of children, teenagers and hospice patients, Donnegan works to empower others to not just face challenges, but to value them for the potential lessons they can teach. While answering questions about what makes her feel beautiful, or what is her favorite time of day, Donnegan begins to describe what she believes makes a happy life and a good person, and what is the best way to love one another. Through this book, she intends to inspire readers to start their own personal traditions of compassion and hope, and to celebrate their own histories. "If we wish for our children to enjoy their lives," says Donnegan, "we must show them how we enjoyed ours." Donnegan hopes readers take away a sense of balance, even in today's unstable climate, and take to heart her message of what strengthens, molds and preserves the legacy of family, and empowers individuals. A Journal in a Jar is available for sale online at Amazon.com and other channels.
