These morning walks with my hubby and oldest baby basset at first were not my ideal way to start the day. Now after doing it all week, I am really enjoying it. As soon as we leave the house, the cool mist coats our face and the sweet smell of the Star Jasmin fills our noses. It seems like half the houses on our route have these beautifully scented plants in their front yard. If not that then they have a citrus tree whose scent can definitely compete with the powerful Star Jasmin. That alone could keep me walking every morning. But it doesn’t end there. There are so many beautiful flowers in bloom right now, and every day new ones pop up. The Bearded Iris are the show stoppers right now. These are the things that will keep me walking every morning. Not sure what I will do for winter.

Little Boy Lost – the true story of one boy’s heartache and hope while coming of age in small-town Tennessee in the 1970s.
As the youngest of three sons and a bona fide momma’s boy, David Peters thinks that having a mother who spends months at a time in psychiatric hospitals is normal. Then on St. Patrick’s Day 1974, his world shatters when she commits suicide.
At the age of 13, he’s left struggling to make sense of his mother’s death while facing a host of new challenges: the father who has lost his business and checked out of society, the stepmother who despises him and his brothers, and watching his family slide from middle class comfort to living on food stamps.
Ultimately, he finds healing, thanks to the assortment of “surrogate” parents who take him in, his buddies, and baseball and basketball.
Through it all, David discovers that even in life’s darkest moments, if you look hard enough for the light, eventually the sun will rise again.
By sharing his story, David Peters hopes that Little Boy Lost will help readers gain an understanding of how to find hope and healing after family trauma from mental illness and suicide.
A powerful, heartwarming story of resilience in the face of terrible tragedy, Little Boy Lost is perfect for fans of memoirs like The Glass Castle by Jeannette Walls or A Hole in the World by Richard Rhodes.
