Author of Best Selling Book and CBS Movie, Walking Through The Fire, Now Gives Us Tapestry: The Journey of Laurel Lee.
(ContentDesk) April 19, 2004--In the late seventies, twenty-nine-year-old Laurel Lee was diagnosed
with Hodgkin's Disease and told by doctors she would die. Her husband, unable to cope, abandoned her and three little children to fend for themselves. While Laurel fought desperately for her life, she kept a journal. That diary, sent to publishers by her doctors, became the best selling book and CBS movie, Walking Through The Fire. Contrary to her prognosis, Laurel didn't die.
The success of that book and three sequels threw this young single mother into world-wide travel, adventure and challenge.????
Through her battles with cancer, her dream for true love and the struggles of raising her children alone, Laurel's heartbreaks and disappointments did not break her spirit. Rather, she lifted up and soared on a most unforgettable journey! With over 90 drawings done by Ms. Lee and over 60 photos, Tapestry weaves us through the decades of her life with a consistent language of grace, faith and a special lyrical intensity. For those who have read her previous books and for those who are just now introduced to her work, Tapestry: The Journey of Laurel Lee is an inspiring masterpiece. ???? Ms.
Lee's books have been endorsed by many, including Billy and Ruth Graham, P.L. Travers, (author of Mary Poppins), and authors Marjorie Holmes, Joyce Carol Oates and Betty Rollin. As a popular speaker, Laurel has been on numerous national talk shows, including NBC's Today Show.
Her books have been translated and distributed in over fifty countries. She has been featured in People magazine and Family Circle, and her books have been reviewed by the New York Times on more than one occasion.

Million Dollar Business Status from Humble Beginnings ? My true story
Many of you who are reading this will identify strongly with the work situation I was in and will at this moment be thinking of breaking free of the corporate shackles and discovering the freedom of your own business.
Going back to 1994, I graduated with a university degree, for which I had studied part time for 7 years, and armed with my new qualification managed to get a position in a medium sized corporate.
By 1997 I had progressed fairly well in the company and was cruising along quite happily with fairly good prospects in sight.
Great things had been promised and my objective of getting onto the board of the company was starting to become a reality.
However as the months passed by I was beginning to realize that my future, that was in the hands of the company directors, wasn't being addressed with the passion that I thought it deserved.
My concerns were brought to the directors' attention who assured me that...
