It is said that life can change in the blink of an eye. I blinked.

The Atkinson family wasn't the perfect family, but who is? They were healthy and relatively happy. As the mother of two sons, Leah had a life filled with twists and turns, even more so since Jameson and Ross had become teenagers. But nothing could have prepared her for the firestorm that was about to consume their family.

Mothers and their children share a unique bond. Sometimes life interferes with those bonds. A catastrophic health crisis or teenage rebellion can wreak havoc on even the strongest of relationships. But life also has a way of turning almost certain tragedy into triumph, of healing the body as well as the soul, and of restoring a mother's faith. Just Another Run of the Mill Day chronicles one family's journey from tragedy and despair to hope and redemption. The memoir will leave you uplifted and grateful for your blessings. This heartfelt story conveys the thoughts and feelings that most of us have probably felt but were afraid to acknowledge. Life is filled with uncertainty and adversity. Trials will come and go.

If you ever feel lost along life's highway or you don't know if you can face another battle, Just Another Run of the Mill Day will provide a roadmap and the assurance that you are not alone on your journey.
