IT WILL BE OKAY - Perhaps that's what this book should have been titled. "It will be okay," were the very words said to Poodessa when she was just a little girl. They were spoken to her, by her Grandmother, during one of the most trying and heartbreaking moments of the young girl's life. They are words that carry her, even today. You see, this is a story about believing, faith and moving forward.In addition to faith and humor, it is a tale woven with Grandma's proverbs and truisms. In a society consumed with frippery, Poodessa cleverly references celebrities. How is it that celebrities are somehow more special? This story begins in Michigan at the start of The Great Recession and ends in Atlanta. Poodessa's Pragmatic Practices is as much a story of most of us as it is the human touch. It doesn't matter much what your profession, income or family status is. While we are all experiencing the same challenging economic times, it is rather uncanny, yet comforting, to see how, though we are all so different, we are all too familiar. It matters not if you are an elite athlete, a Hollywood legend or a janitor, nobody goes through life unscathed, and we could all use a little encouragement, laughter and a reminder of faith to get through it. This is a true story about believing, ingenuity, faith and giving back. After the preamble, promise yourself that you won't be afraid to laugh.
