Dear
Barb:
Answers to Your
Everyday Questions
Do you sometimes feel like you need a second opinion, but you don't
want to tell anyone what's going on in your life? "Dear Barb:
Answers to Your Everyday Questions" provides a common sense approach to
dealing with many of the issues of daily life. For example, Dana
is intimately involved with both of her roommates and her ex-boyfriend
wants to reconcile, what does she do? Patty doesn't know what to do
since she feels she's in a marriage of three? Jessica's mom is
downsizing and wants Jessica to take all her stuff, Jessica doesn't
want her mom's stuff, how does she tell her mom without hurting her
feelings? Big Red wants to know if it's all right to watch porn. Pat
put his dog down and now he has second thoughts about whether he made
the right decision. Melinda lost her younger brother to cancer
and doesn't know how to move on without him. These are some of the
questions included in "Dear Barb: Answers to your Everyday
Questions."
Barbara Godin has been answering questions since 2003 when she
responded to a call for an advice columnist for The Voice
Magazine. Barbara submitted a sample column and was chosen as the
new advice columnist. Barbara had always been the" go to person"
for her friends. A difficult life provided her with the experience to
be able to write over 500 Dear Barb columns and ultimately create a
book that everyone can relate to.
Book review: Dear Barb Continues Advice Tradition in
Book Format
Amazon book review: 5 out of 5 stars:
Loved it! I read this book in one sitting and thoroughly
enjoyed it. Barb Godin gives sound advice, and in a gentle and
respectful way. I admired the way she acknowledged the inquirer’s
challenge first, and then provided practical, doable advice. You can
tell she’s a very caring person – not to mention wise! I
recommend Dear Barb to anyone
who enjoys reading advice columns, or is looking for advice on
families, dating, relationships, loss, addiction and so much more
– even the COVID pandemic.

Glimpses
in Time:
Collection of Memoirs and More
We all have moments, memories that stay with us and
are easily
triggered by a word, a song, or a familiar smell. These brief instances
and recollections take us to another time, perhaps a happy time or
maybe a sad time.
Part 1 of Glimpses in Time is a collection of
25 of these moments which may possibly bring you back to your own
unforgettable moments.
Part 2 includes a few
works of fiction. These stories could have been grabbed from the
headlines of your daily newspaper or crime show. Also included in Part
2 is some easy reading poetry, which includes feelings and situations
that help us to connect to one another.
Part 3 moves in a totally
new direction and takes the reader into the first chapter of Barbara
Godin's unpublished autobiography. Can I Come Home
now? an intense and moving story of a dysfunctional family living
through the fifties and sixties. The story is told as seen through the
eyes of an abandoned and abused young girl who survived, and was
ultimately able to overcome the scars of her past.
Glimpses in Time is a
relatable story as we have all experienced the pain of loss and the
victory of overcoming.
