Turning the Page: Three area authors publish new books

Conifer resident and author Marilyn Saltzman has put what she learned from her 10-year-old grandchildren — adopted from China and Ethiopia — into book form.

“Your Love is Blasting in My Heart: A Grandmother’s Journey” is a series of anecdotes in the style of the “Chicken Soup for the Soul” books, Saltzman said. The stories tell about the intertwining of her study of Mussar, a Jewish spiritual and ethical practice, with her grandchildren’s ability to teach her about such traits as humility, generosity, patience and compassion.

“Piece by Piece: Picking Up the Shards of a Soul Worth Saving” is a story of loss, acknowledging deep wounds and healing from trauma.
