About the Book

As a columnist for the Ashland (Ohio) Times-Gazette, JoAnn Streeter Shade has been writing about small town life, family connections, and social issues of all kinds for eight years. These short essays on social concerns and political order and disorder first saw the light of day on the pages of the newspaper, and are now offered as an assortment of reflections from an opinionated lady. In this collection, Shade searches for life lessons in the exploits of the Cleveland sports teams, the gleaned truths of children's picture books and films, the ups and downs of social media, and the notes emanating from the high school musical stage. Shade offers her opinion on topics such as domestic violence, mass marketing, suicide, the Affordable Care Act, and world hunger, while managing to weave in a mention or two of her grandaughters, the lovely Madelyn Simone and her new sister, the delightful Elizabeth Holiday. Previous collections have been published under the titles of Only in Ashland: Reflections of a Smitten Immigrant; Family Connections: Reflections of a Smitten Grandmother; Christmas Memories: Reflections of a Smitten Believer, and At the Bend in the Road: Reflections of a Smitten Corps Officer. In this volume, Shade retires the smitten label in order to claim the moniker of "an opinionated lady."
About the Author: JoAnn Streeter Shade is the author of twenty books, and besides her contributions to the Times-Gazette, she also writes regularly for Salvation Army publication. She has ministered in Salvation Army congregations and social service programs in New Jersey, Pennsylvania and Ohio, and has served at North Coast Family Foundation, a Christian counseling center in Northeast Ohio. She is married to Larry, is the mother of three adult sons, Greg, Drew and Dan, and Lauren, a beloved daughter-in-law. She is Nana to the lovely Madelyn Simone and the delightful Elizabeth Holiday, who often make an appearance in the weekly columns. With a Master of Arts in pastoral counseling and a Doctor of Ministry in the Women in Prophetic Leadership track from Ashland Theological Seminary, she combines her academic training with a writer's eye, a pastor's heart and a grandmother's joy through Gracednotes Ministries.
