The Book

A Clock, a Coffee Pot and a Field of Lilies is going into.......(drum roll)......it's second printing!! If you want a book, e mail me at asklulabelle@windstream.net and I will tell you where to get it!

If you don't know about the story and how it came to be...where have you been?

When my father passed away last year, my heart literally shattered into a million pieces. My grief turned me upside down and I didn't know how to even breathe. I have five children to take care of and I just couldn't allow myself to fall apart.

So, I took all that horrible, sad energy and decided to create something meaningful out of it. Telling my father's story was very healing for me. Daddy was a wonderful man who was loved by so many (which is why I was able to sell so many books! I ain't stupid) and I thought people might want to know what made him so special. He not only healed folks physically, he healed people spiritually.

Daddy won the National Science Fair, met JFK, went on the Today's Show, got a scholarship to an Ivy League School, became a doctor, had quite an interesting life. But he struggled with drug addiction and alcoholism. His struggles took him on a journey to find hope and that's what the story is about.

He eventually lived a clean and sober life for the last 24 years of his life until he passed away. Even battling cancer and the terrible treatments, he did not medicate his pain with drugs. He spent his life serving others. He was selfless. He gave all he had away. He was known to trade medical services for chickens, fire wood and art.

Proceeds from the sale of each book go to the J. Michael Hosford Foundation. That way we can continue Daddy's life's work of helping others.

If you need a good cry...then a good laugh... and then to be swept up spiritually and emotionally, this book is for you!
