A gifted storyteller - she has written for Guideposts magazine and Chicken Soup for the soul publications - and a mother of four, Pat puts the everyday craziness of family life in the spotlight: wayward pets, early-morning paper routes, aging parents and more. She shares what happened when she gave up the things that made her miserable and offers her secret to turning negatives into positives.
