Overview
Mabel, Beyond the Round Black Box In a world where beauty is often defined by appearance, Mabel, Beyond the Round Black Box challenges this shallow perspective and reveals the true depth of the human spirit. This heartfelt memoir weaves together the powerful stories of two extraordinary women: Mabel, a woman whose physical deformity might have caused her to be overlooked, but whose radiant compassion, unyielding voice, and selfless actions make her a living embodiment of beauty that transcends the surface. Ava, a courageous woman from the 1940s battling tuberculosis, whose incredible inner strength and resilience defy the odds and redefine what it means to be truly beautiful in the face of hardship. Their stories intertwine, offering a profound message about living authentically and embracing the beauty that lies within. Through their inspiring journeys, you'll be reminded that real beauty comes not from how we look, but from how we love, uplift, and care for those around us. Join me in this transformative journey that celebrates the essence of life well-lived and the power of the human spirit to shape our understanding of true beauty. Perfect for readers seeking inspiration, personal growth, and a deeper understanding of resilience and authenticity.

Reviews
Praise for ""Mabel""""Mabel was a Jewel. I was thoroughly immersed in the memories Suellen so clearly recalled of her growing up years. I, too, knew a woman on my paper route that had a round, black box over her right eye. Like Sue, it was really scary at first until I began to understand that the woman had a heart of gold. As we age, it is fun to recall memories of our earlier life. I recommend this stroll through your childhood."" - Gary White, High School Classmate ""Suellen's storytelling lifts Mabel from words on a page to a teacher of life's lessons. Mabel's love and compassion is an equal trade off for our acceptance of differences. Rarely does one fi nd a more beautiful soul to fi ll a household with love until an absent parent returns. Suellen opened her heart in sharing this beautiful story."" - Pat Thompson Curtiss, Childhood Friend
