When Tess Scott's third husband left her, she spent weeks with her face buried in the green shag carpet begging God to make him stay. He didn't.
But that is only the beginning of the story. Tess was diagnosed with breast cancer three weeks after her marriage was reconciled. Instead of enjoying the honeymoon, she was going through treatment for cancer.
Tess understands what it feels like to have never-ending stress including parenting an adopted son with Fetal Alcohol Syndrome (FAS), two sons struggling with substance abuse, and one who attempted suicide.
Do you have a 'messy story'? Tess is on a mission to encourage others who have endured much to realize they are not alone.
Tess Scott is a speaker and an award-winning author of Listen Sister - Finding Hope in the Freakshow of Life.
Most of us will relate to Tess's story in some way and all of us will enjoy her humor as she shares tragedy, heartbreak, and extreme stress in raising EIGHT children.
Tess lives by the motto - "Sometimes what seems to be the worst timing is actually the best." She explains this in her interview and asks if you are stuck in shame -- or would you rather live in freedom? You will enjoy her interview:
Listen, Sister! Finding Hope in the Freakshow of Life is a hilarious collection of short personal stories that turn awkward memories into much-needed encouragement. Each tale of real-life shenanigans points out glimpses of God in the every day and directs women to the source of true joy in their stress-filled lives.
“You’ll laugh out loud and wipe a tear as you read, and you’ll want to purchase several copies of this book for your friends who have also had a less-than-perfect life. Listen, Sister is filled with practical, biblical wisdom, and it points the reader to a hope-filled future.”
—Carol Kent, Speaker, and Author of When I Lay My Isaac Down (NavPress)
