F.A.I.T.H. - Finding Answers in the Heart
What if the heart was more than just an organ that pumps blood? What if it could bring you joy, happiness, money, or better relationships?
Ancient civilizations believed that the heart was the seat of our soul. It didn’t just enable us to give and receive love. It was the source of our creative powers and intuition. Scientists are now finding that the heart is actually a second “brain” that sends messages to every cell of the body and may hold the key to true inner healing.
The 14 authors of this book share their stories of struggle and challenge and the gifts that helped them triumph and follow their dreams. These “ordinary” women serve as extraordinary examples of what is possible for us all.
Now is the time to pay attention. You can choose a new direction. Your inner compass has been guiding you your whole life. All it takes is F.A.I.T.H.—Finding Answers in the Heart.

About the author
Nanette Littlestone
14 books154 followersNanette Littlestone’s emotional stories take the reader on a journey of the heart. An award-winning novelist and gourmet, Nanette believes in happily ever after. Her pragmatic side realizes that most people don’t live fairy tale lives, so her stories explore the struggles we face, the plans that backfire, the heart-wrenching decisions we have to make, plus the joy, the delight, the happiness when we courageously embrace our dreams. It’s all about the love, and good food. She's the author of the historical novel “The Sacred Flame” (set in ancient Rome), the contemporary sequel “Bella Toscana,” the underwater YA fantasy "The Heart of Everything," and the first two books in the Irish romance series "For the Love of Brigid" and "Sweet Dreams by Claire." She lives in Atlanta, GA but still calls California home, loves making origami butterflies, and watching romantic movies that make her cry. Her favorite quote: “Flattery will get you nowhere. Chocolate, everywhere.”

(This review was originally published on my blog: http://elizabethannsalem.wordpress.co...)
The essays in F.A.I.T.H. – Finding Answers in the Heart (published on June 16, 2014), are a reminder that there is great power not only in believing in oneself, but in a Higher Power. The fourteen essays, written primarily by women practitioners in the self-help/life coaching/holistic healing community, describe the impact of finding the faith within themselves to overcome difficult circumstances and to move on, despite often crippling self-doubt.
The stories here are personal and powerful, and apparently this book found me at the right time, as I found myself crying while reading more than once. Especially poignant were Mindy Strich’s “Good Grief,” where she discusses the aftermath of her mother’s death and how she learned to let go and surrender to a new path, and Laina Orlando’s “Third Time’s A Charm,” which is an important reminder about co-dependency and the need to receive as well as give. I also found great comfort in Nanette Littlestone’s “Trust Me!” where she describes her struggles with listening to that still, small voice within that often tells us to attempt uncomfortable things…to put ourselves out into the world even when we can’t guarantee the outcome.
My only quibble with the book, and it is a minor one, is that I wish the essays could have been longer. So many of the stories were so compelling that I wanted to know more!
The takeaway from this collection is that it is possible to start one’s life over again (and again) even when it feels impossible or “too late.” It also is a significant reminder that we aren’t alone in these journeys that we take—there are thousands upon thousands there right along with us. And that, at least to me, may be the most comforting thought of all.

The authors of F.A.I.T.H: Finding Answers in the Heart come together to share their stories to help others through struggles and issues in their lives. Readers will be amazed at the different talents these women found within themselves and how they used them to overcome obstacles in their lives.
These fourteen stories range from alcohol abuse, negotiations, problems with working with siblings to transformation and more. It amazed me how these women took their struggles and turned them into good. Life changing experiences happen throughout this book that will open readers’ eyes and empower them to move forward. These stories encourage readers to not give up and believe change can and will happen in their lives.

I recently won this book as a Goodreads Giveaway.
F.A.I.T.H.- Finding Answers in the Heart is a collection of stories from fourteen different women. The stories all discuss how each individual has overcome a tragedy in their life. Not every story was a huge hit with me but that is why I liked the collection of stories in this book. I feel that there is at least one story for everyone in this book that a person can relate to in some manner. The stories are a reminder that we should not give up when life tosses us lemons but to take those lemons and make lemonade with it.
