I've met the author. I've heard her speak at our church quite a few times. I've been captivated by her story from the first time I learned of it. So young to have lost her husband in her arms 2 days before Christmas with 2 small boys down the hall. Tricia's story of grief and her continuing road on recovery is real and she speaks of it so beautifully. My favorite character was Stan. He spoke bold truth into her heart. Words that we should remember to say to grieving friends instead of fluff. It is ok to be sad, and it is ok recover your own way in your own time. I had the honor and privilege of reading this book before it's release. Put this on your To-Read list and pick-up your own copy on February 18th. You will NOT be disappointed.Tricia Lott Williford uses her own heartbreaking story to witness to us all about God's healing grace. The book depicts her life with her loving husband and two small sons, chronicles his tragic death, and carries the reader to the depths of her ensuing depression. Through it all it is evident that Tricia was willing to trust in the Lord, place herself and her children in His care, make sense of their new life through scripture, and write it all down to share with her readers. This book is one woman's beautifully written testimony of her journey to deep sadness and back to hope for a new tomorrow.
Such a poetic, raw encounter with death and the family it leaves behind. An absolute must read.
