The Gift of Receiving (Paperback)

Meet Eileen, a successful business owner and single mother of three boys. Like so many women, she's always sacrificing for others, putting their needs first.

Out of the blue Eileen is offered a gift, a fabulous opportunity, something she's really wanted: to travel abroad for a month. But who does this? Certainly not responsible people. And Eileen is nothing if not responsible.

Fortunately, her friends encourage her and show her how she can take care of her responsibilities and still go on this adventure. Eileen wrestles with allowing herself to take care of her own needs and desires. She's not sure if she is allowed . . . allowed to say yes, to focus on her wants and needs, and to enjoy herself for maybe the first time in her life.

Eileen takes the leap and accepts the gift. While traveling, she reconnects with her imaginary friend from childhood-TIG. Together they discover Eileen's hopes and dreams: to live, love, and parent from the road.

When Eileen returns, she realizes that the gift was far more than just traveling. It changes Eileen to the core: she is a different person than when she left. She has a newfound happiness, self-acceptance, and sense of herself at a deeper level than ever before.

Join Eileen on the adventure of a lifetime!
