To those who read my book, I hope to share the power of hope and compassion and the tremendous strength and peace that can be found in faith.
Allison and Kate (her daughters) were 7 and 4 (when their brother passed away), and I wanted them to always feel they remembered their brother, even if they had to read to be reminded.
I wasn't sure how or where my story would end. Once I knew we were granted the awesome blessing of another baby, her arrival became the natural ending to my story. I liked the idea of ending the book with a new beginning.
It was such a personal journey for me, and I needed to do it by myself. I wouldn't even read anything written by anyone else for fear I would internalize someone else's thoughts. I wanted every word to represent my feelings, emotions and experiences.
