Synopses & Reviews
It happens to every family. Things are humming along smoothly when suddenly they realize that life is not just a bowl of cherries. An unlooked for event, crisis, or trial threatens to upset the balance of all they consider normal. How will they ever survive and how will they ever get things to return to normal? Is it even possible?
What if constant change and adaptation is what “normal” really looks like? In Life Happens Taralyn and Teresa Clark explore life realities and provide much-needed information gained from decades of experience to survive and ultimately thrive in spite of life challenges.
Review
""Life happens, doesnt it? And struggle enters into every life, sometimes nearly overwhelming in its magnitude and intensity. In this insightful and thought-provoking book, Teresa and Taralyn Clark provide us with powerful tools to face personal and family adversity with courage, humor, and grace through
story. If you are a member of a family—or a member of the
human family—this book is for you: a roadmap to lead you safely (if not unscathed) through the hazards of life.""
