Notes from Susie: Choosing Gratitude in Life's Low Places follows the spiritual journey of Susie and Mark Edwards through her battle with terminal cancer by way of posts on her Notes from Susie Facebook page. A prolific writer of personal notes, Susie wrote hundreds of uplifting and encouraging notes to people throughout her life. When first diagnosed with ovarian cancer, a Facebook page was created to keep her friends and family informed of her progress. The regular posts of Susie, her husband Mark, and other family members soon turned a page originally meant for information into a page of inspiration using hymns as devotionals. The Facebook group grew and there was an overwhelming call for the posts to be compiled into a book for caregivers, friends, and family of terminally ill patients. Following Susie's death, Celebrating Grace, Inc. approached Mark to publish. Mark took on the task of condensing over 300 Facebook posts into a devotional-type format, added a foreword to help readers get to know Susie, an epilogue and "coda" that point to the future. Notes from Susie is for anyone that is struggling with, has faced, or will confront "one of life's low places." Discover hope and gratitude that God gives even in the midst of despair in the notes written and faith demonstrated by Susie and her family. www.NotesFromSusie.com
