Book Cover & Preview Text
What I have is purple And an emotional eclipse That's when my sister softly smiled A tear still on her lips Well, maybe that's okay To be broken when I'm with you I'm bruised and tensed But your love is sensed In the cracks where light gets through Really? I asked with a sniffle In this mess the world has spun You can mix hurt with love And purple hugs And embrace them all as one?

About the Book
Touch of Purple is a story about love knocking on the door of grief. The words were first wrought by a brother trying to let his sister know how much he loved her even as she was caked in the pain of loss. It has been rewritten many times over many years as different hurts arrived, giving the story a myriad of flavors, leaving it an everything bagel of life, love, and loss. One that resonates across the trails and trials we all walk.
About the Author
AJ Snyder is an award winning children's book author who was raised on a steady diet of witty irreverence, unconditinal love, and thrice nightly doses of Dr. Seuss. His adoration for the written word is rivaled only by that first sip of coffee in the morning, closing his eyes to draw a deep breath while warm sunshine bathes his skin, and the daily shot of elan from a home filled with his wife and daughters.
