"I am still learning." (Michelangelo, in his 87th year)

Frances L. Cooke

Frances L. Cooke grew up in Wake County, North Carolina, the oldest of ten children in a working, tobacco farming family.

For 52 years she was married to a Massachusetts Yankee husband, and together they reared two daughters. Retirement came to Frances following ten years with the N.C. Baptist Foundation as director of Trust Development.

Frances has always been involved in some form of volunteer work, including nearly twelve years as teacher of Sunday School lessons for radio and for television produced by the Baptist State Convention of North Carolina. After the death of her husband, she devoted two summers to teaching conversational English in universities in China.

Four women in an auto repair waiting room inspire uplifting reflections on a life filled with faith, challenges, and love.

This book touches on so many topics that face women—and men and children—in our world. Mrs. Cooke doesn’t simply cite events, situations, and varied relationships, but also, in very forthright and simple language, she tells her readers how to be sensitive to who they are and to consider each encounter as a life changer. Her faith tells her that God is in the mix. She, in turn, tells us. What a beautiful revelation! —From the Foreword
