“Women definitely have a friend in journalist Jerry Johnston,” declares Janice Kapp Perry in the introduction to this engaging collection of vignettes. With characteristic warmth and insight, the renowned columnist reflects on the lives of inspiring women he‚Äôs known and vividly describes their many spiritual gifts: grace and vitality, sacrifice and devotion, harmony and hope. Through his examples of inspiring women he admires — from celebrated figures like Marjorie Hinckley and Chieko Okasaki to ordinary women like his own mother — Johnston honors all women, who by small and simple acts of goodness daily change our world for the better.
