My Quiet Place
Faith, Family, Healing & Hope
Hi. I’m Patty.
Writing is a window. Mine into a book of rain and sunshine memories, a dandelion storybook, God, simple ways, natural healing, family, and encouragement… as seen through the eyes of a physically challenged wife and mom.
Welcome to the journey…
Mission
To uplift others through faith, healing and heartfelt stories inspired by life’s unexpected curves.
Books about
memories and dandelions
Deep down God puts a resilience in our hearts to overcome hard things. Each of these books was written with honesty, a touch of humor, and a belief in God’s presence through every struggle.
Whether you’re walking your own winding road or helping a child see their worth in unexpected places, I hope these stories speak to you.

When rooted in God, we find Strength and beauty in life and it’s challenges.
