I enjoyed working with Helena Wagner to edit and design her memoir, Shadows of a Mother’s Dream: A Story of Hope, Resilience, and Love, a wonderful story of her life in Korea, her marriage to a U.S. serviceman, embracing the Christian faith, and her life growing in confidence as a wife, mother, and entrepreneur. Pick up a copy of her book here.

This is what Helena had to say about working with Chapters of Life:

“Working with Julie Zander on my memoir, Shadows of a Mother’s Dream, was an affirming experience. Her editorial guidance shaped my story with such feeling, clarity, and care. Julie possesses a true gift for honoring the emotional core of a memoir while enhancing its structure and flow. She listened intently, posed insightful questions, and helped me preserve not only the facts, but also the feelings. Her encouragement throughout the process made the journey feel far less daunting. I’m so grateful for her professionalism, her warmth, and her unwavering support to make stories shine.”
