The Blessing begins as a writing exercise that takes on a life of its own. A blue chest of drawers and the blessing it contains touch the lives of fifteen women, giving to them the desire of a lifetime. Meet Sarah and Juliette, mother and daughter who share a child; Laurie who owned the chest and then opens her home to a new mother; Aunt Rachel and Uncle Budge, a couple who get a second chance at a family; Maida who rears her granddaughter; and Ed whose mother discovers the blue chest for a second time. The blue chest is an upbeat novel that you will hate to see end.A 2001 South Dakota State Fair Literary Competition Blue Ribbon winner.
