email: jansmith3690@yahoo.comphone: (478) 251-5101 SPARTA, GA – June 11, 2021 How could I tell my sons I wanted to divorce their father? Janet becomes disillusioned with marriage while living on Mark, her husband’s, family farm in rural Georgia with their three children. Trapped in a dying marriage and desperate to save her family from divorce, Janet prays that God will save her marriage. An unexpected encounter with a Department of Defense school recruiter and two job offers to teach children on a navy base result in Janet and her family’s move to Japan.There she faces new challenges—a son deployed to Iraq, a rebellious teenager who hangs out in Tokyo, a five-year-old who doesn’t understand why they left their home, and a homesick husband.

When problems and conflict plague a marriage, the path to reigniting the love and getting past the hurt may feel too difficult to pursue. At such times, hearing the story of someone who worked through it and got to the other side can encourage us to go the distance. In God, Mt. Fuji, and Sweet Tea, author Janet Smith begins her memoir as a disillusioned and weary wife struggling to hold onto her marriage. Against a colorful backdrop painted for the reader through beautifully descriptive passages, Janet transports her readers into her life story to discover the transformational principles that saved her marriage. It’s a story of marital redemption that can encourage others to stay the course and not give up.
