Summary:
"Sometimes, joy can be hard to find. Shortly after landing her dream job as a TV anchor in Minneapolis, Roxane's marriage fell apart. Every day was a battle to keep it together on camera while piecing her life back together at home as a single mom of eleven-month-old Jared. But Roxane refused to give up on joy. With wit, dignity, and gripping detail, Roxane shares her story of a faith that proved to be a guiding force as she searched for pockets of joy and found a lifetime of grace. Alongside Roxane's practical tips for today's woman, Pockets of Joy reveals the secret to a joy-filled life."--Page 4 of cover.
