Lemons and Lace: From Bitterness to Beauty - A Journey through the Death of a Child, Cancer, Betrayal, and the Suicide of a Husband Paperback – February 13, 2016

The juice of a lemon is unpleasantly bitter but when it is mixed with the water of our growth and the sweetness of our blessings, the lemon produces a product that is both refreshing and pleasing to the soul. Such is the message of "Lemons and Lace"—a journey from heartache to hope. Pam Fleming is light-hearted, yet vulnerable and raw, as she shares her easy-to-read story about her own personal loss and how her faith anchored her in times of intense storm. She offers her audience encouragement that they have the power to let the deepest wounds and darkest moments transform them into something beautiful. I love the wisdom she allows the audience to ponder on when she says “it’s at these times that we need to decide how to live our lives. When difficulties come, do we wallow in bitterness or do we persevere through the trial and come out as a sweet refreshing drink?” This book is a must-read for anyone who has ever felt silenced by shame, depression, or a broken spirit.

This is a quick and easy read, but the message of hope it brings will linger long after the last page has been turned. The author courageously allows access to some of her most personal and painful moments in life, along with the accompanying thoughts and feelings she experienced. What emerges is a beautiful testimony of a God Who is faithful to bring provision, healing, and restoration to our deepest, darkest soul wounds, if we allow Him. Whether you're looking for an encouraging story or are in the middle of a desperate situation yourself, this is the book for you!

A wonderful, uplifting book of victory over so many crushing events in life. A must read for women of all walks of life who have experienced or know someone who have experienced a life changing event. Death of a child or husband, parent, betrayal, cancer, or life changing disease, upheaval, or other events. Pam finds victory in all of these events. Through it all she never looses her faith and trust that God has everything under control.

An excellent testament to God's love.Heart wrenching and inspirational.Although you may feel as though God has abandoned you, this true story reaffirms ..He has not!A lovely easy read.

I liked that the author shared her story completely, no sugar coating the bad .

I found how Pam's faith in God helped her to walk through many 'valleys' in that she encountered in her life. While she didn't understand why these things happened in her life, she continued to lean on God...as He brought her out of the 'valleys' and to the mountaintops. I talked to a friend who read the book who has gone through similar challenges in her life and how helpful the book was for her.

WOW!!! This book is amazing, once i started reading it i couldn't put it down. This book is an excellent read, it is easy to read and written so beautifully, i loved it.

I was so inspired and encouraged by Pam’s testimony, through it all, each Scripture referenced was so appreciated and appropriately placed throughout the book. “Lemons and Lace” is confirmation that God continues to give us “Beauty for Ashes”!
