Finding Joy in Unexpected Places.

What if seventy years of hard-won wisdom could save you from years of heartache?

In From the Hart, beloved newspaper columnist Janet Hart Leonard shares the kind of Christian living wisdom you can't find in a textbook—only through walking through valleys, making mistakes, and discovering God's faithfulness in every season.

If you've ever struggled with people-pleasing, caring too much about what others think, or trying to fix everyone around you, this book is for you. Janet tackles the real struggles Christian women face: empty nest syndrome, setting boundaries, healing from heartbreak, finding peace in difficult seasons, and learning when to say "let them" and reclaim your joy.

Inside From the Hart, you'll discover:

  • Faith-based encouragement for navigating life's unexpected detours with grace

  • Permission to stop jumping through hoops and start living in God's freedom

  • Practical wisdom on forgiveness, people-pleasing, and finding your voice

  • Heartfelt stories about family, relationships, and growing older with faith

With the warmth of a trusted friend and the honesty of someone who's been there, Janet reminds you that your journey matters, your words matter, and God wastes nothing—not your mistakes, not your pain, and certainly not your story.
