Women, men, parents and teens just love the award-winning, personal growth, inspirational gift book Peace, Love and Lemonade: A Recipe to Make Your Life Sweeter! Numerous life examples reveal that the power of choice turns adversity of every sort into opportunities for increased happiness. Included in this illustrated book are simple exercises for both personally and professionally achieving one's "greatness" after traversing the terrain from lost to found. Nancy Stampahar reveals personal stories of how life threw her lemons from an early age. With candor, she speaks about gleaning courage from her beloved intellectually-disabled brother, as well as her mother who rose above an abusive marriage and, while single and on welfare, persevered to earn a law degree. Feeling vulnerable and distressed by circumstances as a teenager, Stampahar dropped out of high school and turned to drugs and alcohol. Now, she helps others lead more empowered lives.
