Book Signing to Benefit Fashion & Compassion

Meet the author of “Island Girl”

Norma Joyce Dougherty’s “Island Girl” has recently partnered with Fashion & Compassion’s artisans in making a special bracelet, “Radiant.”

“Island Girl” and “Radiant” go together like a hand in a glove.

Why Island Girl? “Because it is a compelling autobiographical account that chronicles a life of hardship, deception and abuse, yet culminates in discovering the most authentic, eternal wealth that truly matter in this life: pure joy, peace of mind, hope, and an exultant heart and soul.” (Press Release from Elm Hill – A Division of HarperCollins Christian Publishing, Inc.)

Why Radiant? Because “those who look to Him (Christ) are radiant, their faces are never covered in shame.” (Psalm 34:4-5)

If you experience a lack of identity, shame or guilt and want to know value, joy and radiance, then let this story lead you.

Keeping Up In 2023

By Norma Joyce Dougherty • December 31, 2022
I was always pursuing perfection, wanting the best for myself, my family and my life. So intentional doing everything just right, till one day, I woke up and realized I was actually paralyzed by my pursuit of perfection.
Is your heart yearning for something special.

EVEN IF

By Norma Joyce Dougherty • January 22, 2022
We all have those dreams for something we feel is missing in our lives. We all visualize what life would be like if we were able to achieve or acquire that dream.

Who Are You

By Norma Joyce Dougherty • December 1, 2021
We can all learn to share God’s message, his good news with others. Why? Because we will know, believe and understand how great and valuable it is for each one of us…so valuable that we won’t be able to keep it to ourselves.
Do your boundaries reflect your values

Establishing Boundaries

By Norma Joyce Dougherty • October 28, 2021
We don’t always guard our hearts do we? Our hearts can fill us with desires for things that may not be in our best interests; that may not even be in God’s will for our lives or reflect His best purpose and plan for our lives.
