Dear Friends and Family,

I have spoken with LuLu.com today regarding the problem with my book not yet being available on Amazon.com and BarnesandNoble.com, and also as to why it is not yet listed on the Ingram Database so that it can be ordered through book stores with the ISBN number. Apparently, there is a backlog of cases at all locations and it will be several weeks before Photographs of the Heart is available from any site other than LuLu.com, in the meantime, you can order directly from Lulu.com Thank you for your support and understanding with the resolution of this matter. Sincerely, Peggy Lutz McDaniel, Author

Sometimes life hands you a problem that you can't seem to work through without your family close by you. That is a difficulty that I am having now. With a mo...

Following is a review of my book by a satisfied customer...Thank you Mia for your kind comments. Peggy Lutz McDaniel



Hello Peggy, I received the book yesterday. I started to read immediately (the postman rang me out of bed grrrrrr, it was very early) and I don't know what I must say. Your writing is incredible, I have the feeling I really was there when it happened. This morning I read another 50 pages and all I can say is: wow, you are really good. I can laugh and cry with the stories, the one about sisters is hilarious. You must be very glad that you have such a relationship with your sister and brother. I recognize very much in your upbringing, the christian background, the values you had to learn (nothing wrong with that). I also understood your problems at school; I was not chubby then, but I also wore glasses and was no part of the popular part of the class. With sports I was always the last to be chosen, just like you. The difference between your story and mine is that I did have friends at school, and even better, I still see five of those friends today. Okay so much for now, I'm gonna read every dag in the book and let you know regularly what I think. So far, so good:-d

When you think you have hit rock bottom and can't fall any further, somehow you find the inner strength to reach down, pull yourself up by the boot straps and keep on trudging. The road might be filled with deep pot holes, and you might think you have lost your way, but just keep your eyes on the prize and you will eventually get there. Don't look back, keep looking forward. It might take you longer than you expect to get where you're going, but when you reach that final destination, there is no better feeling than knowing you accomplished the goal that you set out to achieve.

Down and Out Sometimes life kicks you so hard in the teeth that you get pushed down, stepped on and trampled into the mud so deep that you think you can't pull yourself out. But somehow, you have to find the guts or the sheer will to pull yourself up by the bootstraps and fight your way out of that quagmire instead of sitting there feeling sorry for yourself and waiting on the next guy to come along and pull you out. Chances are he's not gonna help you, so you better do it yourself before you drown in all that mud and murk. But sometimes you just get so sick of being stomped on that you want to kick and stomp back. You think people care, when in fact they just pretend to. I might not be the brightest bulb in the lamb, but I'm not stupid and certainly not a fool.

In memory of the thirty one who fell, and all those who have fallen before them. And in honor of those who continue to serve and for their families you wait back home for their safe return.



An Army Mother’s Prayer



An old lady with snow white hair

Sat by the fire in her rocking chair

With tired eyes she began to read

Words that filled an aching need



Ma, times are rough over here

I try real hard not to show my fear

The nights are cold, and the days are wet

Now, don’t you sit over there and fret



Last night we dug in deep

None of us got any sleep

Bombs exploded across the way

But, we all saw the light of day



Did Pa get the lower forty ploughed?

Sure would like to see that red dirt cloud

Hope he got the hay all bailed

Did he fix the roof from where it hailed?



Well, guess that’s all I got to say

I’ll write again another day

Ma, please don’t cry and frown

You and Pa, take care now









Tears rolled slowly down her cheeks

Not another word, all these weeks

She pulled on a worn out sweater

Gently folded up his letter



Frail and worn she knelt down

Beside her bed upon the ground

Closed her eyes and began to pray

Thank you Lord for another day



Lord my Son is far away

No letter came again today

Keep him safely in your hands

Where he stands on foreign sands



Guide him with your tender care

Take away his pain and fear

Shelter him from all harms

Keep him safe within your arms



Lord I place him in your hand

A soldier fighting for his land

Bring him safely home I pray

And thank you Lord for another day.



Amen
