A New Kind of “Everywhere” — Purple Flower on My Nose

A New Kind of “Everywhere” — Purple Flower on My Nose

Have you ever made tea for someone you were losing? Twenty-six days of home hospice. A lifetime of faith. One unforgettable mother.

 

Those of you who’ve followed Everywhere Hope and Everywhere Love know I write about finding God in the ordinary corners of life. This new book takes that same conviction into the hardest corner of all.
Purple Flower on My Nose is the true story of my mother Violet’s final twenty-six days, and the faith that carried our whole family through them. It’s not a devotional in the traditional sense — it’s a journal, unpolished and real — but it holds the same truth every Everywhere book has tried to tell: that
God shows up, even here. Especially here.
