The story of Judy Hartzell begins with the disappearance of her father and the murder of her mother—two events that shocked the small community of Lost Creek, West Virginia, a region of Appalachia in the 1940s. She is separated from her six siblings when she and her sister are eventually adopted by a couple in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, with just stories and shadowy memories of her childhood. Judy finds a deep inner strength and independence that would lead her through a life of work, acquiring a college education, raising a family while traveling, and living in various cities in the United States and abroad.

I Am God Breathed from Author Jennifer Penrose
Just as our heavenly Father breathed into us, we are teaching our children to breathe in and through their emotions. It’s a good reminder for us as parents too.
We are all God breathed, every man, woman, and child. God created each of us with emotions. They are not something to be ashamed of or try to push away. They are there for a reason.
Children, in particular, do not always know how to handle these big emotions. It’s our job to help them. It is my hope that this book will help you to enable and empower your child to work through these emotions, learning that it’s okay to be feeling what they are feeling.
