"Beauty for Ashes: Letters from a Mother’s Heart"

SYDNEY - Aug. 7, 2013 - PRLog -- Laura John’s first book allows readers a very personal look at her life, from being a child with no roots, to someone who had a teenage abortion and a mental breakdown in her forties, to the woman she is today.

An unshakable faith and preservation of family have become the driving forces in her life. She describes through a series of heartfelt letters to her eight children how one very dysfunctional family has been torn apart – and reconciled – to survive rape, alcoholism, divorce, miscarriages, drug abuse, and autism. The “blended” family that emerges through these pages will encourage anyone who has experienced a breakdown in relationships.

Beauty for Ashes: Letters from a Mother’s Heart is not a book brimming with advice for parents, but is rather a chronicle of being a mother in difficult circumstances, making impossible choices, and living with the consequences. It has been said that the only thing stronger than fear is hope. It is definitely hope that emerges triumphantly in this book about being a mother.
