Drawing from personal experiences, Restored by the Storm provides a profound exploration of how individuals navigate tumultuous phases in their lives, encompassing both personal and professional realms. It addresses heart-wrenching questions that arise when life takes a sudden, unexpected turn, leaving one to grapple with the reality of a disrupted existence.

This inspiring testament to the human spirit's resilience emphasizes the potential blessings hidden in life's trials. Advocating for a steadfast, positive attitude rooted in faith, it provides hope and guidance to a wide range of audiences, including Christians, those seeking life's purpose, business owners, and individuals facing medical challenges and other seemingly insurmountable situations.

A tale of survival and a beacon of hope, Restored by the Storm shows that control in life is often limited to one's attitude and effort, especially when navigating through turbulent times. It reveals that life's trials and failures are as instructive as its successes, underscoring the importance of learning and growing stronger from these experiences. Highlighting the role of faith in finding strength and restoration, the story encourages embracing a new normal with gratitude and redefining success on one's own terms, fostering optimism for a future aligned with one's life purpose.

Restored by the Storm instills a sense of inspiration essential for anyone seeking to find meaning and strength in the midst of life's storms, assuring them that there is still much to achieve and cherish, even after significant losses.

Lisa Plackner, Leah Wahlberg, and Alison Schloesser designed a course called Parenting with Pride in the hope that we could provide skills and support to families in building and maintaining positive relationships at home.  A  "pro" for our class, according to the attendees, is the fact that a meal is provided each week.  Families eat together, and then split for parent learning, and child learning/activities before coming back together for parents to practice their new learning.

Norman L. Miller’s riveting first novel is based on an all-too-true story that unfolded in the late eighties and early nineties when the KGB attempted to abduct the author while on a seemingly innocent goodwill mission to Latvia. He had to be hidden, taken to Estonia and smuggled across the Baltic Sea to safety. It’s just the right kind of folder for a sports-spy-thriller.
