9Every life brings with it unique experiences and familiar experiences. Gleaning insights from the lives of others can often save us from making the same mistakes in our own lives. It can also give us a step up in the learning curve of life. Meg Haden has generously shared her life, both good and bad, between the covers of this book. She has shared her most intimate moments with family, friends, and her God. Moments that bless, educate, challenge, and entertain. As Meg was born into the generational title of "Baby Boomers," her experiences span over seven and a half decades. As antiques acquire valuable patina on their surfaces, people acquire patina on their souls. Observing how patina developed in Meg's soul makes for a great read. Sit back, enjoy peeking into Meg's life, and grow a little patina of your own. Lynne A. Warmouth has been blessed to record this account of Meg Haden's life. It is her second book on the life of people who have caught her attention. "The Only Constant" was her first historical novel and brings to light the life of Sam Vinton Sr., missionary doctor in the heart of the Congo between 1928 and 2005. A remarkable life indeed. Lynne lives with her pastor husband of 53 years in the parsonage on the hill above their church, and enjoys her scenic view of Riverside, CA.
