The stories of our lives are a lot like songs-beautiful, eternal melodies composed by our loving God. In Heart Songs, author Kathryn Slattery shares some of these songs through her own life stories, seeking to provide hope, encouragement, and inspiration.

In this collection, she explores the joys and challenges of life's changing seasons-being a young mother; being a member of the "Sandwich Generation" pressed on both sides to meet the needs of her aging mother while also caring for her husband and children; being an empty nester and losing her mother; and being a joyful mother of the bride.

Throughout her life's journey, Slattery discovers fresh, helpful, spiritual insights-"heart songs"-that she shares as a mother, daughter, sister, wife, and friend. With refreshing candor and gentle, self-effacing humor, Heart Songs captures those divine and fleeting moments when heaven's music breaks through and our hearts sing in perfect harmony with our loving God.
