Publisher Description
Are you longing to make a difference?
A season of soul-searching walks along Discovery Beach in Seattle revealed a secret far too many women never find. In this heartfelt book, Leslie Parrott reveals a personal message sure to keep you from looking at the pieces of your life as mere fragments scattered to and fro by any impulsive tide. Rather, you will soon see that the random fragments of your life--whether it's doing laundry, dashing to the store, tending to either your kids or a full-time job (or both)--mean something.
The random pieces of your life hold great potential for making a profound difference. With the help of her Band of Sisters, Leslie shows you how to take the improvised moments of your own life and create a worthy composition of more value than you imagined. You're already making a difference, and the more you understand this difference, the bigger that difference will be.
Whether you are married or single, restless or content, wounded or strong, this book, designed for every woman who longs to be more than part of the mainstream, is for you.

"There's really nothing earth-shattering in this book, but there are good reminders throughout. It packs all the things we know but get too busy to remember in one book, and the "ponder this" questions prompt you to stop and think about aspects of your life and influence we don't often reflect upon."

" I truly wish I had done this book in a women's group. There were wonderful quetions to ponder that I did write down in my reading journal, but to have discussed them with friends would have been heavenly! A good read to look inside yourself truly and see that you do make a difference. "

" I'll give this book 4 stars for the first 6-8 chapters, 2 stars for the remaining chapters; for an average of 3 stars. Most of the points that you need to get from this book were it he first couple of (very good) chapters. "
