The Garden

Mike and Joan Heyer discovered a treasure trove of Janet Heyer’s electronic files containing various writings two years ago. For those who did not know Janet, she was Mike’s first wife and a lifelong member of Grace. She was always a cheerful and supportive volunteer, loved books and writing, and ultimately aimed to be a published author. Among her writings, Mike and Joan stumbled upon a children’s short story that they realized would make a beautiful children’s book. Although Janet did not live long enough to see her dream come true, her loved ones collaborated on her behalf to make it happen.

We are proud to announce that the book has been published. We invite you to celebrate Janet’s legacy by enjoying her heartwarming story with a message of the power of sharing and beautiful illustrations that will charm readers of all ages.

The book is available for $9.99 on Amazon, at Moonbeams in Glendale and Novel Neighbor in Webster.

Net profits from the book will benefit St. Jude’s Children’s Hospital, Janet’s favorite charity. If you want to preview the book, a copy is available in the Library.
