In this poignant inspirational novella, James Herrington looks back on his vulnerable childhood and remembers a special woman he met at a North Louisiana pond-side park in the summer of 1969. With his early years fraught with loss, divorce, the threat of family violence from an alcoholic stepfather, and a culture steeped in racial tension, James' friendship with The Shoestring Lady challenges him to rise above.

The Shoestring lady is a story of forgiveness, kindness and faith, evoking powerful emotions to fill your hope tank and cause you to remember those who picked you up when you were down and challenge you to do the same for another. This is the perfect gift to thank someone for their kindness to you or to boost someone's spirit in difficult seasons.
