This book was an absolute page turner! This testimony is shared with transparency, grace and resilience. As a mother with a strong relationship with my son, so many aspects of the story resonated with me. I highly recommend this book to anyone needing inspiration while encountering the challenges that life brings. I attended college with the author’s daughter and it was striking to read about the ways that my friend was a pillar of strength for her mother and family. This narrative is rooted in faith and optimism and it was a pleasure to read.
