My guest today is Love Inspired Author Leann Harris. She has something to say about the “can do” spirit. Here’s Leann:

“In my latest book, Fresh-Start Ranch, the heroine, Dr. Tessa Grant, is a woman who struggled against the odds of having her father leave the family.  Her mother and Tessa struggled to make it alone.  When the creditors came to their ranch, Tessa worked out a deal with the new owners of the farm to keep her horse there at the farm and work for horse breeder to help with his stock.  Tessa doesn’t take no.

That spirit was inspired by my mother, who knew that a poor girl in the wrong neighborhood in her city wouldn’t make it, so she transferred to another high school on the other side of town.  She took 2 buses to get to school.  Mom also was so bad in chemistry she blew up the chemistry lab and got a D.  But that didn’t stop her.  It was my mom’s “can do” spirit, and “nothing will stop me”, attitude I drew upon as I wrote the book.

Tessa had her flaws, but God was able to deal with her wounds and heart.  I hope my children think their mom has a can do attitude as their grandmother.”–Leann

Leann, thanks for sharing about your mother and her positive approach to life–an inspiration to all of us!–Lyn
