Fresh Elastic for Stretched Out Moms

Her oldest son was killed in Vietnam. Five years later, to the day, another son died in a head-on car collision. Then another son, a practicing homosexual, left home and didn't tell his family where he went. This may not sound like the life of a woman known for bringing joy and laughter to others-but it is. That's Barbara Johnson's story. Fresh Elastic for Stretched Out Moms is for all parents whose hearts have been broken by their children. Johnson understands the hopelessness that they experience when children choose a rebellious lifestyle, sever a relationship, commit suicide, are seriously injured, are caught in an addiction, or engage in any other hurtful behavior. With compassion, understanding, and humor intact, she gently leads readers through a "year of recovery" to a fresh, hope-filled start. Through anecdotes, poems, jokes, poignant stories, and letters, readers will capture Johnson's infectious enthusiasm for life and learn to trust God for victory over depression and despair. Fresh Elastic for Stretched Out Moms will also prepare parents to uplift others who are in need of courage, love, laughter, and hope-just as Barbara Johnson continues to do. This second edition of her first-ever book contains a new preface by the author.
