The Inspiring True Life Story of
Nancy Zieman
Have you ever watched Sewing with Nancy? Have you ever wondered about the woman behind this informative and enjoyable show? Well, with Seams Unlikely you are offered a rare glimpse into the life of this inspiring woman who overcame challenges to get to where she is today.
Learn about Nancy's childhood in rural Wisconsin and how family played an important role in who she became as she struggled to overcome health challenges. Her upbringing helped her find the strength and determination to become the woman America loves to watch sew!
"...If something is worthwhile you have to work for it," was a philosophy that Nancy learned early in life and has stayed with her and it is quite evident that she applied it well. This is one work ethic that we all would do well to remember!
There are glimpses into Nancy's world from her family, friends, and employees that add an extra touch to Seams Unlikely. This isn't your normal autobiography - it is a story of inspiration and triumph. There are even a couple of well-loved family recipes thrown in that I have to admit I'm looking forward to trying out.
This is a book that will appeal to fans of Sewing with Nancy and Wisconsinites! Learn about rural Midwest living in the 1950's - 1970's. This is one book that will appeal on many levels.
I was provided a copy of this book by Glass Road Media & Management in conjunction with this Blog Tour and in exchange for my honest review.
