A Falling Star

By Bonnie Crosier

Book Overview

Olivia had been a vibrant person who enjoyed every minute of her life until she realized she had a dreadful hereditary disease that would eventually rob her of speech and movement. She had watched the disease take the life of her mother and grandmother. She understood that she would ultimately be reduced to a state of mere consciousness, simply "being there" in a body over which she no longer had any control.

After five years of not being able to communicate with her husband or caregivers, Olivia was at a very low point, and was convinced she would be in a state of hopeless limbo until she died. One day, a new person came to her room at the nursing home, and over time, the two women developed a unique connection. Bonnie has the gift of telepathy and eventually, she could understand Olivia's thoughts. As they became friends and spent more time together, Bonnie helped Olivia express her hopes and fears. This powerful experience took them on an unexpected journey, and along the way, they both found the courage to explore difficult issues and trust in their faith.
