Skipping Stones: a memoir

By M.J. Blaeser

Have you ever watched a stone skip across the water? It moves fast, this is how it keeps from sinking, but eventually, it does-sink.Melissa's life is moving at a pace fast enough to keep her from sinking as she manages the care of her special needs son, tries to keep her career afloat, and maintains her outward appearance of confidence. When her husband Jeff is diagnosed with colon cancer at age 46, suddenly, her world tilts and the fracture in their marriage that had been quietly growing for the past couple of years begins to crack open. Inwardly, Melissa begins to sink as she struggles to maintain the delicate balance of keeping her life above water. Skipping Stones is one woman's story about choosing to re-emerge from the depths of personal struggle by cultivating the self-worth required to live a life of love and joy.
