So many times it happens. As women grow older, they come to that place as "empty nesters" where they question their purpose. After all, they are the nur- turers of their family. But who are they really when they are all stripped down and stand naked before the mirror without their babies at their breast and their children at their feet? Whose voice do they listen to now? When the house is quiet, the silence can become deafening.

Where do they find their identity? Do they really believe the lie the world tells them that they can do it all because they are superwomen? The pressure to identify who they are can become all too consuming, especially when they look into that mirror and see that they have become too focused on themselves, trying to please everyone else to gain favor in this world.

This book details one woman's journey and her pain, anger, hurt, rejection, and disappointment that came from striving to please others and gain accept- ance. It is a story about turning away from the pressures and voices of the world to find peace and fulfillment in the simple things that life offers. It is a return to the lost love and the search for simple truth in a complicated world. This is her journey to faith, truth, resilience, and love. Between the House and the Barn is about believing in the truth that resides deep inside each one of us.
