Along the way the author introduces us to some fascinating women, from shy Martha Brown, the Adams family laundress to Sister Stanisia, an accomplished artist/nun who doesn’t know where babies come from. Other characters potrayed are: Kara Winston, a young mother who finds the courage to return to college in an unlikely place; Ellie, an attractive, middle-aged divorcee undergoing sterilization; and Elizabeth, an older married women who is forced to let go of a loved one twice. Divided into six chapters illustrated by the author, Pink Lemonade offers hope to anyone struggling with unexpressed feelings of sadness, powerlessness or anger. Samantha Adams demonstrates through her own experiences how the arts, especially those with spiritual underpinnings, enabled her to transform life’s tragedies into triumphs.
