In The Night Owl Sings, Judy McConnell's protagonists-all of them old-bust the stereotype of old age as a reductive experience. As time tapers, love, relationships, disappointments, change, and everyday life sharpen. As each character lives their final years, a deep, literary complexity emerges, and the sum of a long life is totaled as it nears its conclusion.

The Shut-Out Wife
It is an unhappy phenomenon. A once loving husband turns cold and inaccessible. His attitude, behavior and choices-from self-focus and new female friendships to confusion and mixed messages-can create a divide between him and his wife, making her feel "shut out" of his life and locked out of her own marriage. It's even worse if he begins a midlife affair, believing that he's found new and true love elsewhere. In such instances, it's too easy and too common for a passing midlife episode to end up costing both him and the wife he's shut out the happy security of the marriage in their later years.Enter Debra Macleod's The Shut-Out Wife: Breaking Through Your Husband's Midlife Crisis, a must-read book based on one of the author's popular online Marriage SOS programs. Drawing on her background as a marital mediator, relationship author, "Fair, but Aware" approach and over two decades of experience working with wives and husbands struggling with this issue, Debra Macleod, BA, JD, offers the shut-out wife a plainspoken, powerful guide to help her master that balancing act-winning back her husband without losing herself in the process.* *But take note: Part One of this book encourages the reader to look at her own behavior and how she can mitigate her husband's midlife crisis. It does this for a strategic reason-to ensure that she can confidently employ the strategies offered in parts two and three, where the author proceeds to such challenging topics as how to handle a husband's self-focus, new obsessions and midlife infidelity. The Shut-Out Wife is therefore best suited for readers who are willing to consider its diverse content in its entirety. The goal is to make the marriage happier and more stable for years to come. That will take a holistic view of the author's guidance plus a willingness to consider all strategies and work through the practical questions presented.
What LOVE Does
Love is the predominant force in our lives from the time we are born.We enter this world feeling at one with all that surrounds us - an experience of connection and love. But that feeling fades as we begin to think of ourselves as separate from others and the world. Deep within we maintain a memory of that feeling and continually seek to reawaken it. We usually pursue it indirectly, hoping for others or the world to bring it to us. The direct way is allowing it to ourselves regardless of the circumstances of our lives.That feeling seeks to emerge within each of us in this moment -and every moment - as does the sun during an eclipse. We give it many names: joy, happiness, recognition, connection, peace of mind, freedom, nurturance, forgiveness, compassion, kindness, appreciation, among others. What blocks that feeling is our thoughts about the past, our judgment of the present and our worries about the future. Love may focus on a person, place, or object, but it actually is a feeling independent of them we can decide to allow ourselves. And as we do this it opens our eyes, our minds, and our hearts.

Yahweh Said Write
I was directed by YAHWEH to write this book so women can see the unacceptable effects of reckless conduct and domestic violence. Having a loving, kind, caring, forgiving heart does not mean you should allow anyone to violate your body (temple). All females should be the best gatekeepers they can be when it comes to their bodies(temples). If you do not know how to be a gatekeeper of your temple, ask YAHWEH to protect and guide you every day. Domestic violence is more serious than most of us can imagine. The repugnant act of domestic violence is an unclean spirit design by satan himself.

Shaving Off His Mane
Marriage was not made to be a battleground where we snarl, fight, and attack each other. It was meant to be more like a playground where we romp and play and have fun together. Sadly, many couples can relate to a battleground instead of a playground. Why is that? Using the example of a lion and a lioness and the different roles they were created to perform, we will compare the ground a husband and wife were called to live on. The mane is what sets a lion apart and gives him strength, authority, and courage. Shave off a lion's mane and he is left defenseless, fearful, and deprived of what he was meant to be. Yet, often, a wife can shave off her lion's "mane" by various hurtful habits such as critical words, disrespect, wrong attitudes, and unforgiveness. As a lion and lioness implement their roles, they complete each other and work toward a common goal, exemplifying marriage as it was intended to be. Looking back over forty-three years of marriage, I can see the times the razor was buzzing as I attempted to shave off my husband's mane. Those years were painful, wasteful, and damaging. Miraculously, through God's divine hand, our marriage survived. This helpful and insightful look at how turning off the shaver and allowing God to do his redeeming work through you will strengthen your marriage so your husband can become the courageous leader he was called by God to be.
One Last Wish
Sometimes, one last wish is all that we get...It should have been me.I was supposed to be the one who died in the car accident that day.Not my best friend who had a family to leave behind.But like most things, life is unpredictable and filled with unexpected changes.Like stepping in to help her family pick up the pieces after their world shattered around them.Or the epic cross country road trip that we took to honor the bucket list she made when she was a little girl.I never expected to become a part of their family along the way.I tried to keep the lines clear and avoided getting too close.After all, it wasn't just my heart that I feared breaking.I wasn't looking for love, but that didn't mean that it didn't find me.

The most important thing however in this book is not so much my grief journey but who God became in my loss. In this book, I aimed to share and convey that God is the new life-giver, even when it feels and looks like everything is lost. He also is the restorer of broken dreams which can often follow when we face a loss; whether that is the loss of a spouse, child, business or health.And I know that this was the most important aspect of my journey, who God became to me in my grief, and what He restored to me; hope, joy, new dreams and a fulfilling life. This is who He desires to be to anyone who faces heartbreaking loss and grief. This journey brought me, despite the depths of my sorrow, a newfound and profound faith in God as He spoke to me through impressions of various scriptures, but also through dreams and words that came to me in my sleeping time, God started the restoration process in my life with a seed of hope and this has continued to grow. This memoir is a testament to the transformative power of faith and how even in our darkest moments, God's presence can illuminate the path to hope and renewal.
