A beautifully written book that I could not put down! I was inspired by the grit and perseverance of a woman who has suffered in deep waters of pain and loss. Her battle back to life and faith will forever be an inspiration to me.

A beautifully written raw emotion unfiltered look into the struggles and the triumphs that Kim has lived. From her biggest successes to her darkest hours she take a deep look into the journey of losing faith and yet finding it once again. As she describes her darkest hours I too began to question why … how much can one person endure.. and yet the journey as she describes it allows you to introspectively examine your faith along side of her. This thought provoking soul searching journey is simply a must read for everyone.

Kim thank you for having the courage to allow us to have a look into your darkest hours and celebrate your successes with you. I am truly changed after reading this. I am so blessed to call you a friend ❤️💛🖤💛🖤💛#hawkeyealumn
