Ms. Brown has had the opportunity to precept other social workers during her time in this journey. Two of the following individuals had the pleasure of reading this book prior to publication and Ms. Brown quotes their remarks.

“My little people is a virtual gift to those who read it, in that its author has managed to successfully interconnect valuable, historical hospice social work information for its use in a professional forum and for the sake of the individual battling terminal illness. This book serves as an invaluable tool for any caretaker or loved one navigating the end of life process.” Marta James Harris, LBSW

“If you are searching for answers about hospice care this is an extraordinary read. This book not only defines who, what, when, and where of hospice, but also tells the heartfelt stories of a humbled medical social worker making the best of heart-wrenching situations. Ms. Brown ties in her personal experiences to make an informative, yet personal story to educate individuals and families on hospice. I enjoyed reading about the various encounters Ms. Brown has experienced. This book is a must read!” Amanda Johnson, MSW

Finding Normal: Living Free From Culture Shock

FINDING NORMAL

Living Free From Culture Shock 

“I just want my life to be NORMAL!” is something I have said repeatedly in the heat of the moment, when what appeared to be an unbearable situation hit me head on. In the midst of praying and crying, I heard the Lord say with such a calm voice that brought peace to me, “Your life is NORMAL.” Then He asked the question that I know He knew the answer to, “ What if this is the way that your life is suppose to be?” 

Have you ever asked yourself the question: Why is my life the way it is? You may have wondered to yourself, “Could my life have had another outcome?” or “Why can’t my life be normal?” We spend an entire lifetime trying to find pieces to this puzzle called life. Some of us get frustrated along the way, and in the midst of the frustration, we find joy, happiness, and sadness all wrapped up in a time capsule. If you’re at the point in your life where you have came to a crossroad and your wondering why to the past and what’s next to the future then “Finding normal” is the book for you. God created us all with a purpose in mind and He wants you to know how to journey through life. Soon, it will all make sense! Take a journey with me and others to get a few viewpoints as to how to look at your life differently. Your life just may be what normal looks like.
