politics and social sciences,religion and spirituality,social sciences,specific demographics, When Sarah-Patton Boyle moved to Arlington, Virginia, at age sixty with husband and children no longer in the picture, she fully expected to be twice as creative as when she had to squeeze time for writing from the household duties. But she was not prepared for the many shocks of moving nor for the ultimate shock of discovering that now she was no longer Patty Boyle but an "old person." What does it mean to feel and to be old? "It wasn't a feeling of accumulated years so much as one of having outlived my power to achieve anything--a feeling of not having any life ahead of me but only behind me, of having passed from anticipation into merely marking time." In this desert, "there wasn't anything out there for me," she says, no adventure or fulfilment." Even her faith in God and her love for the church that had always been her mainstay seemed to have abandoned her. But she refused to Be defeated. Courageously accepting what cannot be changed, Sarah-Patton Boyle has found ways to make the desert bloom. She has learned to change what she can, and in the process, her faith in herself and in God has been restored. Her many discoveries about herself and about human needs have led to a new quality of life, one full of joy and Purpose.The Desert blooms is a book brimming with honesty, wisdom, and encouragement. Read it and take heart.
