"The Stone Mosaic" by Oceola Winslow

Imagine...
living what seems like three lifetimes? Decade after decade spent collecting memories, lessons, knowledge, friends, love and history. Only to then find yourself trying to pick from all of those moments, just a handful of stories to be published? Life lessons you want to leave as a legacy.

Would you write about the time you traveled the world for six months?
Or maybe about riding in the dairy truck, delivering milk with your mother?
No, perhaps it would be more meaningful to capture your depth of faith.
Whatever you think might be most important, Ms. Winslow has written hundreds upon hundreds of stories but she chose carefully for this book.
Why?
Because she wants to leave behind small moments of kindness, faith, and the knowledge that you are loved more than you can fathom.

It has been a true joy to work with Oceola.
And we are better people for knowing her.
You'll understand once you read her book.
