On the Front Porch with Helen: Memories of an Unlikely Friendship

On the Front Porch with Helen: Memories of a Friendship is a story about family and relationships and lightheartedness, about grace and humility that will raise the reader’s spirit. It is based in strong American values and beliefs conveyed through insightful, heartfelt stories. Among the ordinary people we know, it is not necessarily those who are busiest, who rush around who do the most good. It is the lives which simply pour down on us the calm light of their bright and faithful being. We gather from them a deep sense of peace and courage. A cup of cold water―a little thing! But life is made up of little things. If we wish to rise to higher usefulness, we will cherish the loving, yet seeming trifles of daily living. It is not the greatness of the help, or the intrinsic value of the gift, which gives it its worth, but the evidence it is of love and thoughtfulness. Helen’s life embodied this. “This is a compassionate and beautifully told story of one woman touched by another.” Heather Gemmen Wilson, author of Startling Beauty.
