Summary: Humor & Pathos the Old-Fashioned Way
Comment: When I was a little girl, one of my favorite past-times was eating ice cream made the old-
fashioned way-hand-cranked by Daddy. He used only the finest ingredients like real cream,
sugar, and fresh strawberries. We were blissfully unaware of fat grams. Thank goodness
laughter isn't fattening, or I would be several sizes larger having devoured Through the Rocky
Road and Into the Rainbow Sherbert by quintessential Christian comedienne, Laura Jensen
Walker. She writes the old-fashioned way, using only the finest ingredients like humor,
creativity, and wit. But just as rock salt is necessary for congealing ice cream, Walker adds
generous scoops of pathos that pave life's rocky roads with depth and honesty. She openly
writes about pain-the untimely deaths of her father and brother, rejection at the altar by her
fiancé, her masectomy, and brush with contemplated suicide. Yet Laura is a survivor. She has
received the rocks life dishes out with an upturned spoon and open heart-with courage, and
confidence in the God who controls it all. Because of the bitter, she appreciates life's sweetness
all the more. Because of the rain, she savors the rainbows.
-Lynn D. Morrissey, author of Seasons of a Woman's Heart & speaker

Summary: Parenting expert/author comments on Rocky Road book
Comment: I like short reads. I wrote a short read. Through the Rocky Road is a delicious collection of short reads about joy, hope, disappointment, learning, love, sadness and laughter. It's one of those keep-by-the-side-of-the-bed books you can pick up, enjoy a portion, then go on with your day digesting its message. The author shares true stories and reveals her humanness in a way that anyone can relate to. This is not an advice book but one of gentle, encouraging navigation through the rocky roads of life.

As the best of teachers do, this author shares meaningful life learnings without preaching or lecturing. You can turn to any chapter of this book for inspiration, but you'll find yourself wanting to read it from cover to cover. Walker encourages us to discover the best for ourselves from any situation, a strategy that teaches optimism, builds faith, and encourages hope.
