About A MOTHER’S GRACE, the book

As women everywhere are dealing with unprecedented trials and stress in their lives, A Mother’s Grace: Healing the World One Woman at a Time shares remarkable true (and inspiring) stories from female change-makers with advice about turning adversity into action.

Moore shares how her adversity became a global movement when she survived an aggressive form of breast cancer at the same time her son faced near fatal complications from juvenile diabetes. Grateful to be alive, she was compelled to make changes in her life and in the lives of others. Along with her own personal story, Moore shares the stories of 10 women and how their lives serendipitously came together in the most unique ways so she could continue to grow this movement and partner with these women in quite miraculous ways. Here are just 3 of the extraordinary women included in the book:

• Kristen Sandquist, who co-founded K2 Adventures, a foundation that infuses potential where others see limitations, providing children and adults with disabilities the means to hike Mt. Kilimanjaro and other seemingly unattainable feats
• Sister Mary, a “mom” to more than 100 young impoverished girls in Calcutta, India, where she feeds, educates, and keeps them safe from slavery and deadly, third-world health issues
• Connie Uddo, who founded St. Paul’s Homecoming Center, a Hurricane Katrina recovery hub, which provided resources, volunteer coordination, and case managers for more than 60,000 home owners devastated by this climate catastrophe.
