Gathering

'Snapshots of Life

What do you do? You've answered that question many ways. Sometimes defensively as if your job defined who you were and established your worth. Other times with satisfaction at the achievements at home or at work you had attained. But is what you do all there is to life? To you? Is life a never-ending vertical climb on somebody's career ladder or is there more?

Authors and real-life sisters Sandra Finley Doran and Dale Finley Slongwhite say 'Yes'. Gathering is a collection of tender stories that embrace life's large subjects such as identity seeking child raising marriage illness eduction religion death and friendship.

They bare thier souls with uncommon candor and vulnerability to encourage us to gather and treasure life's varied experiences that produce balance fulfillment color and richness.

Doran and Slongwhite's intensely personal revelations will lead you to deeper meaning and insight in your own life. Gathering makes every facet of living a cause for reflection and celebration.'
