I have had the distince privilege of meeting the author, Jo, through a website for people with diabetic pets. I had no idea the skill that Jo had with not only writing but drawing, as well. I loved her first book, "The Journey" and now have read her second book, "The Second Lesson."
May I say first of all that it is not necessary to read the first book in order to understand and appreciate the second book. But read both and treat yourself to a wonderful journey. Jo's books have a unique way of explaining many life lessons to us all in a way which adds a wonderfully storyline along the way. Perhaps the greatest lesson in her current book is the issue of dealing with loss, whether a pet as many of us have, or a loved person, as well. Jo takes me on a trip which at times seems surreal or mystical which keeps us wanting more and then the solution not only satisfies but teaches. The book is a joy and a short read and opens your mind up to so many thoughts about life and how somehow like Jo has developed such a motivating philosophy of life which she shared with all who take the time to read and enjoy. Reading her background and credentials, it is interesting to see how she has incorporated her credentials into these beautiful life lessons. She has so much to offer.
And please enjoy the wonderful illustrations that Jo does herself. She is an extremely talented woman who uses words and art to convey lessons about life which many of us need reinforced from time to time.
