Pamela Stead Jones lives in small-town Pennsylvania, married with five grown children. She is the proud grandmother of eight members of the next generation. Since childhood, writing has been her passion, and the time has come to share her voice. After nearly forty years of active parenting, a new beginning seemed like a good idea. It is never too late to speak your truth! Let us go now beneath the surface and introduce you to the woman — the spirit — that lives within the mother. Her hope is to share with you her dream for a future filled with harmony and peace, where her grandchildren can choose a life that fulfills their own dreams.
