"Seasons of the Soul"

Janet Syas Nitsick the author of "Seasons of the Soul" is staying with us here at Mantrap Lodge this week. She has a beautiful soul and it's been a real pleasure to get to know her this week. The book is a true story of dealing with autism in her family. Be sure and pick up a copy at your favorite book store or go on line and order one from Tate Publishing.

Author Janet Syas Nitsick is the daughter of former Nebraska state Sen. George Syas, who served 26 years in the Unicameral and died Feb. 7, 1997. He was well-respected for his knowledge of Nebraska’s constitution. Janet is a former language-arts teacher and worked as a journalist the last five years.

Janet’s passion for writing began as a child when she wrote to overcome her shyness. She earned her bachelor of arts degree from Omaha’s College of St.
Mary in 1995 after returning to school as a nontraditional student. She and husband, Paul Nitsick, a former postal employee, live in Springfield, Neb., with their two autistic sons.

Readers can get a glimpse of the joys and struggles of raising these special-needs children through several personal stories included in Seasons of the Soul.

Janet also has two grown sons and four grandchildren

Thanks, Janet & family for being here with us this week!
