"Although I believe it is up to each of us as individuals to work toward self-healing by addressing our own human weaknesses and exercising our will power that has been gifted us, at times may we feel the need to seek others for help. Through her personal experiences recounted in A Mother's Journey and the way she meets each challenge, Sharon shines a light on the path ahead, for each of us to follow."

Synopsis:
A MOTHER'S JOURNEY is a poignant account of Norah Ann Mason¹s life journey as a wife, mother and single parent.

Each child with their own personalities and needs become textbooks from which Norah draws the knowledge and experience that ultimately shed light on her life and its deeper meaning.
