I'm out to change the world

Lest you believe that I have entirely abandoned this project, let me assure you that it's not the case. I have been busy. I have, however, found time to read a series of 12 books (leaving me about 7 books behind schedule, but I finished off one of those books last night). The series I read can all be read separately, but they are all by Ann Kiemel Anderson. I'm not sure if any of you have heard of her...but she is incredible.

Maybe I need to explain my back story with this amazing authoress. I'm not sure how many of you are aware of this, but I was adopted through a private adoption when I was 4 hours old. Prior to this, however, my mom was in contact with Ann Kiemel Anderson. She adopted her 4 sons via private adoptions. Someone had given Mom a copy of Mrs. Anderson's books, and she became such an encouragement to my mom, who was unable to have children. They began writing letters, and while Mrs. Anderson wasn't able to help Mom with an adoption, she was such an incredible encouragement to my mom. I grew up reading this letters, and hearing these books discussed.

I started reading her books when I was 12. I don't recall them that well, which is why I decided to re-read them. Oh my word. Ann's first few books were written while she was a single woman, and they reveal her struggles. Her faith, her want of a husband, how she's out to change the world...it's amazing. She has a unique writing style....very loose, no capitalization. And yet it fits her somehow. I greatly admire her books, and they have taught me so very much. She details her struggles with raising 4 children, humorous antidotes, how she dealt with adoption and her 4 children, her marital issues, etc. These books are truly gems to read. Apparently she's written a few that I have yet to read, that I need to look into. But I have never read an authoress that I enjoyed more than Ann Kiemel Anderson,
