...“Tears and laughter abound in this charming, interactive memoir. It’s a book full of loss, love, and healing that will leave you wanting more from this debut author.”—SUZANNE WOODS FISHER, bestselling author of Amish Peace: Simple Wisdom for a Complicated World
“Shari Zook’s story soars and sobs, punctuated by humor and wisdom. She reckons with, wrestles with, and worships the One who holds and heals the nations. Beware—just when you think you are safely on the sidelines, she will remember her reader and turn your way with a look of such insight and compassion that it may shatter—and then help restore—you.”—SHEILA PETRE, mother of nine and author of Thirty Little Fingers
“In Peanut Butter and Dragon Wings, Shari Zook invites her readers to pull up a comfy chair, take a deep breath, and join her in being honest about the challenges of living faithfully. She writes with authenticity and wisdom as she shares her personal experiences and the lessons learned from them. This book is a fresh wind of grace for weary women.”—GINA BRENNA BUTZ, author of Making Peace with Change: Navigating Life’s Messy Transitions with Honesty and Grace
“Shari Zook says it best herself: ‘This is not a book about self-care. This is a book about receiving the care that surrounds you.’ Peanut Butter and Dragon Wings is not a cute mommy book about ‘me time’ and lattes. Shari’s words—always honest, often harrowing—slice down to our darkest places and deepest needs. If she, a pastor’s wife, loving mom, and competent woman, can hit the depths and find grace there, can reach out her hand and open her mouth to ask for help, then, God be praised, so can you and I.”—DORCAS SMUCKER, author of Ordinary Days: Family Life in a Farmhouse
“With refreshing honesty, Shari Zook drops the mask and shows us realness, brokenness, and pain. In candid, beautifully crafted stories, she bares her heart and shows us how we, too, can invite Jesus into our pain. I wept with her, and rejoiced as she continually points us to the God of grace. This book will bring hope to any woman who faces darkness and difficulty.”—FAITH SOMMERS, author of Prayers for a Simpler Life: Meditations from the Heart of a Mennonite Mother
“Shari Zook has an ear for beautiful language and a gift for expressing emotional and spiritual concepts in concrete terms. I found myself laughing, crying, and understanding some of the difficult issues of life in new ways.”—LUCINDA MILLER KINSINGER, author of Anything but Simple: My Life as a Mennonite
