Pictured: nice author Judy Larsen 
by Malena Lott
Raised by my grandparents, I can still hear my grandma’s stern voice saying, “If you don’t have something nice to say…” you know the rest. But do we live it? Well, one author has made it her mission to spread the message on the blogosphere and beyond. I was especially tickled that a fellow author on the Girlfriends Cyber Circuit started a new blog about being…nice.
So our Atta-babe this week goes to author Judy Larsen, who reminds us all that being nice only requires a little work on our part and a whole lot of keeping our ugly ‘pinions to ourselves. Will you BEbabes take the 21 day challenge with me? Let’s do it! If we can start a reading revolution, by golly we can make the world a wee bit friendlier, too.
And while we’re at it, wouldn’t it be NICE to support Judy by buying her book? I’m so ON IT! Get yours here.
About All the Numbers:
Product Description
“How much do you love me?” Daniel asked his mother.
“I love you all the numbers.”
What begins as a sunny August afternoon on a bucolic lake turns into a tragedy when a Jet Ski swerves fatally close to shore. It’s a day Ellen Banks could never have prepared for, a day no mother should ever have to live through.
The moment her son James is killed, Ellen must face the unimaginable while trying to remain strong for her older son, Daniel, who witnessed the fateful accident and blames himself. Ellen’s shock and grief soon give way to defiance as lawyers and policemen who once vowed to support Ellen’s desire for justice succumb to political pressure and back away. Still, Ellen is determined to see the reckless young man pay for his crime and to heal her family’s deep wounds. But first she must heal herself.
An unforgettable journey of power and emotion, All the Numbers poignantly depicts a woman’s reckoning with her own vulnerability and finding in the wisdom of motherhood the redemptive grace to begin again.
