Women's Stories of Profound Loss, Courage and Healing

A daughter dies, a husband is murdered, a son commits suicide, a brother is diagnosed with terminal cancer…

When tragedy crashes into life, we may be bouyed by the love of family and friends, but we may never truly heal until we make peace with the crisis, relinquishing its stranglehold on our capacity to move forward. For many, this is a journey of faith, an opportunity to forge a new, perhaps deeper relationship with Spirit. Here are the journeys of 14 women of vastly different religious traditions, and how they came to weather their personal storm. No two are alike, yet they all share a path of healing, of stepping slowly back into wholeness and joy after suffering nearly unimaginable loss.

May this book be a simple life raft to those who suffer, an encouraging gift to help them hang on, to keep moving until they, too, can fully heal. You are not alone; others have been there too. If they can make it, so can you.

We promise.
