A timely message of hope and encouragement, her book Help for the Laid Off and Help for the Laid Off – Devotional helps the reader to accept the unacceptable.

She also teaches family members how to help their loved one who is laid off or fired, and concludes with a reality-based challenge, that if followed will be a blessing to the person who accepted the challenge and the loved one who is laid off or fired.
