			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>A lot can happen to a person in the space of only a couple of years.  Since I published the first portion of <em>Journey of Hope </em>in the summer of 2009, the most significant occurrence was the death of my Daddy in May 2010.  No event in all my life has had such a grave and sustaining impact.  I miss him every single day.   Earlier that same year, the granddog he loved so much, my Sonny, had to have surgery to repair a torn ACL in his knee.  He was in the process of recovering when Daddy died.  I discovered that the years from 2009 to 2011 would hold much grief as well as much promise, much loss as well as much gain.  Although I lost the father who had been my stalwart support for my entire life, at the same time I gained friends who would become my stalwart support for this new season in my life.  I also made new connections with old friends and moved into a new home.  Most importantly, I learned that I could make a new life for myself and Sonny.</p>
<p>I hope you will want to learn more about me and my life through my new e-book.  Please visit my website at <a href="http://www.maxineharper.com/">www.maxineharper.com</a> to purchase the e-book for Kindle, Nook, or just as a PDF to download to your computer.   My first book, <em>Daffodils in the Snow</em>, is also available in the same formats on my website.   Hope to see you there!</p>
<p>Please reply to my blog and tell all your friends about my books<a href="http://maxineharper.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2011/07/maxinepink.jpg"><img class="size-full wp-image-54 alignright" title="Maxine and Sonny!" src="http://maxineharper.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2011/07/maxinepink.jpg" alt="" width="147" height="168" /></a></p>
