    About this ebook

    There is nothing like the pain of feeling invisible to those around you. It especially hurts when you are serving, giving, and loving, and no one seems to notice or even care.

    In creating The Invisible Woman, Nicole Johnson shows how much she understands the difficulty of living with great responsibility without receiving any recognition. Nicole puts us inside the mind and heart of Charlotte Fisher.

    And as we walk through Charlotte's story of feeling invisible, we experience the comedy and loneliness of her life. The invisibility that at first feels inflicted ultimately brings her real significance and meaning.

    Drawing her strength from the invisible builders of the great cathedrals, Charlotte realizes she is not invisible to God, and this simple truth changes everything for her. Faith is rekindled in her heart as she seeks to love her family in ways that only invisibility makes possible.

      AT THE AGE OF FIFTY-FIVE, I thought I was over feeling left out, but an old wound recently resurfaced that made we wonder if I really was. A group of women I knew in college scheduled a conference call, and it reminded me of a painful experience from

      It started to happen gradually . . .

      I would walk into a room and no one would notice. I would say something to my family, like, Turn the TV down, please. And nothing would happen. Nobody would get up or even make a move for the remote. I would stand there for a minute, and then I would say again, a little louder, Would someone turn the TV down? Nothing. Finally, in frustration I would go over and turn it down myself.

      One day I was walking my son Jake to school. I was holding his hand, and we were about to cross the street when the crossing guard said to him, Who is that with you, young fella?

      Nobody, he shrugged.

      Nobody? The crossing guard and I laughed. My son is only five, but as we crossed the street I thought, Oh my goodness, nobody?

      Then I began to notice these kinds of things more and more, because it wasn’t only with the kids. I was in the grocery store looking for Fruity Pebbles. A clerk from the store walked by and I said, Excuse me, but could you . . . and he was gone. He walked right past me to help a woman further down the aisle, who was having trouble finding extra-fine sugar. She looked about twenty-two and just so happened to be extra fine herself. I was left on my own with the cereal hunt.

      Another night my husband and I were at a party. We’d been there for about three hours and I was ready to leave. I noticed he was talking to a
