The Artist's Daughter By Alexandra Kuyendall GIVEAWAY!

When Alexandra Kuykendall became a mother it was the beginning of a soul-searching journey that took her into her past and made her question everything she'd experienced--and a lot of what she hadn't. The only daughter of a single, world-traveling mother and an absent artist father, Alexandra shares her unique quest to answer universal questions: Am I lovable? Am I loved? Am I loving?

In short, moving episodes, Alexandra transports readers into a life that included a childhood in Europe, a spiritual conversion marked more by questions than answers, a courtship in the midst of a call to be with troubled teens, marriage and motherhood--and always, always, the question of identity. Through her personal journey, women will discover their own path to understanding the shape of their lives and a deeper sense of God's intimate presence within it.

She is a regular contributor and consulting editor to MomSense magazine, Connections magazine, and the MOPS blog. A frequent speaker for MOPS, Alexandra has been featured on Good Morning America. As the mother of four young children, she continues to refine her mothering identity. She lives in Denver, Colorado, with her husband, Derek, and their daughters.

 
What a wonderful story of GRACE! I really enjoyed this memoir and I think it will be one that I read again in the future.
For all of you who are saying well I only enjoy reading fiction, I am a fiction girl at heart as well but this was a very touching story of grace that you should not pass up. I learned a lot from reading this book, in fact once I stared reading it I could not put it down.
I recommend this 4 star book.
I was given a copy of it by the publisher for my review.
