A Mothers Heart

About the Book

This book you hold in your hand may be small in size but the story it tells is huge! The message… Trust God’s Grace… He does not do miracles half way! This is a true story… written from the heart… without benefit of accomplished writer’s skills. There are no long descriptive pages meant to build suspense…life can do that all on its own. How many of us live our lives routinely…going along day after day… assuming things will always go as we plan? This mother found the peaceful, normal life she so treasured, turned upside down in a split second. How she coped (or didn’t cope) is chronicled in these pages.

About the Author

Joan Judson is the mother of four children, three daughters, Terry, Cindy and Beverly, one son David. She and her husband were married in 1951 and make their home in Woodbury, CT. They have six grandchildren, Christine, Steven, Rebecca, Heather, Michelle and Donald and four great-grandchildren, Dylan, David, Max and Anna. Her heart and life center fully around her faith, her family and her home. In this book she has recounted the true story of a horrific accident which, but for the grace of God, nearly took Beverly’s life at the age of nineteen. She presents the story just as they lived it. It has taken her thirty years to finally put into words what that time was like for her family. She had kept notes and doctor reports which she referred to for medical details. Even after so many years had passed it was, at times, overwhelming for her to relive the memories she had to in order to diligently record the days, weeks, months and years that encompass Bev’s story. She had set the manuscript aside again and again through tout the years until 2008 when a dear friend convinced her “it’s time…it’s now or never…if you don’t write it now Bev’s story will never be told. Time doesn’t wait for you forever.”
