It is my pleasure to introduce Maria's new book The Rain and Everything. Maria's newest book is full of wisdom and life's richest experiences. She shares her heart and soul in a most endearing and authentic way.
Her nursing career has touched many, as she cared for them in the most loving way. I am proud to know Maria and call her one of my dearest friends for many years now. She is not only a talented writer but a gift to all who is blessed to call her friend. I would like to call her the Energizer friend. She never misses a beat and is always ready to encourage a friend. I can not tell you how many times I have found a card or a care package in the mail. Maria is remarkable that way. I know I am not the only one to have experienced her giving heart.
This wonderful book will pull at your heart strings as she speaks of her lovely mother, Sammie. A lovely mother, daughter relationship in which they nourished each other in magnificent ways. Maria continues to write about her beloved Aunt Baby, her Golden Retriever. There is so much richness to be found among the pages of this book. It is sprinkled with beautiful pieces of poetry. Her thoughts on survival and worries in this life bring hope to those who take the time to absorb her words.

'The Rain and Everything’ is at once a tribute, an affirmation, and a guide. The stories will reach inside you where you live. The writer's experiences are rich and her wisdom is strong. She shares her foundation stone and the secret of her inner strength, learned at her mother's knee. Along the way, poetry will encourage you to face life’s adversities with courage. Some words trickle as soft as rain and others crackle like thunder. The style will carry you along as she relays the stories of heroes both big and small, two footed and four footed, that she met along the way. The wisdom of her words forms an ellipse through both the practical and the clinically mad. Her nursing career brought her face to face with the homeless and the homicidal. You will cheer her perseverance and shed tears at the injustices she encountered. This is a volume that you will reach for often. You will ponder and you will appreciate what is good in your world. Roll up your shirtsleeves, pour yourself a cold drink and dive in. Reading Maria Jordan is like skipping stones across a lake on a summer day. There is love and affirmation to be found between these covers."
Thank you Maria for all you do day to day in caring for your patients but thank you most of all for your wonderful heart which you share endlessly in this life. This book truly is a treasure and you my friend are pure sunshine!
