Longwood, FLA-In life we are often unaware of the effect our words and actions have on other people-only to find out later they can sometimes be devastating. In her book Joy Robbers: Who Are They? (paperback, 978-1-60477-272-2), author Tanya Spiegel compiles 27 short stories of everyday life "joy robbers" and insights on how not to be a joy robber yourself. Whether you curl up in a chair with a cup of tea or simply have a moment to call your own, reading these soul-stirring stories will refresh you with amusing or meaningful encounters with the joy and pain of life.
In this collection of narratives taken from ordinary life and family relationships, Spiegel provides new insights to common joy-stealing occurrences to give the reader a fresh opportunity to grow emotionally and spiritually, such as in "Unspoken Mistakes," where you will read about a man who in the heat of the moment makes the wrong choice, something we can all relate to.
"This book is an expression of sometimes personal events that I felt, by sharing in this format, would provide comfort and awareness to readers everywhere," says Spiegel. "It is my sincere hope that readers will take these stories to heart and possibly prevent some of the 'joy robbing' in their own life."
Tanya Spiegel grew up in a large extended family, and during her youth she lived all over the United States and Canada. Now, as a mother to her own large family and a foster mother to neglected and abused children, she has gleaned many life lessons to use in her stories. She writes from the heart in a humorous and thought-provoking manner and gives each story a unique perspective for each character. Everyone who has ever experienced joy and sorrow and love-the very essence of life-can appreciate these characters and their stories.
