HUGS, HOPE, and PEANUT BUTTER has been
called riotously funny and "un-put-down-able,"
but the book has a more serious side too.

living with
chronic illness and pain,
the book
addresses some tough subjects like coping with
depression,
an illness she's battled most of her life.
What makes this book
unique is that's
it's
illustrated with over 40 drawings created by
children
who are battling for life. Jordan
came to know the children through a
non-profit charity
she created for sick kids called The HUGS
and HOPE Foundation.(
www.hugsandhope.org )
The simple goal of the organization is to
share love with sick kids
and to create smiles for children who often
have little to smile about.
Reviewer Lynn Chapman says the book and it's
illustrations are appropriate for
"anyone who has ever been discouraged,
disappointed, or just plain tired."
And isn't that EVERYone? Vicky
DeCoster (author of Wacky Womanhood) says,
"It's
a fabulous
compilation of essays that will touch your soul with both laughter and
tears."
Dr. C. Goode of The Academy for Coaching
Parents International says the book "
uplifts your faith and lightens your day."
Syndicated columnist Lisa Barker (jellymom.com)
wrote ""You'll soon be laughing out loud
and won't want to put this book down!" And
Donna Wyland, with the Foundation of Hope,
called it "a must read."
Some chapter titles
include, "Limburger Attitude," "Is Broccoli
Hazardous?" and
"Life in the Manure Pile." Jordan also
recounts such escapades
as her camping adventures, her search for
the perfect purse,
and a horrifying experience with a new
magnifying mirror.
Profits from the
book's sale benefit the sick children served
by the HUGS and HOPE Foundation.
