Jessica Turner's new book, The Fringe Hours: Making Time for You, was the best book I've reviewed in awhile. In this practical and liberating book, Jessica Turner empowers women to take back pockets of time they already have in their day in order to practice self-care and do the things they love. Jessica uses her own experiences and those of women across the country to teach readers how to balance their many responsibilities while still making it a priority to invest in themselves. She also addresses barriers to this lifestyle, such as comparison and guilt, and demonstrates how eliminating these feelings and making changes to one's schedule will make the reader a better wife, mother, and friend.
I love how the reason for the creation of this book came from Jessica's heart and struggle to create more time for herself. As a working mom of three, she understands the desires of women to juggle so many things well. She also knows how often we can push our own needs and dreams aside to do so much for everyone else in our lives, and gives so many practical tips on how to care for others and still care for ourselves as well.
My favorite part of this book was the way it was set up so interactively, with space given for personal reflection and application. There are small motivational "take aways" at the end of each chapter too, to apply what has been read.
The Fringe Hours would be a great individual read or an excellent choice for a group study. And if you don't have a local group to go through it with and want to be part of one online, it's not to late to check out the (in)Courage's Bloom book club that is about to journey through this book.
