By Christine Nicolette-Gonzalez

Book Overview

A sudden cancer diagnosis. An accidental fall from a ladder that kills a beloved husband. A lifelong, debilitating incurable illness. A knock on the door--a twenty-three-year-old son has committed suicide.

To breathe on this planet is to endure suffering because inevitably each of us will hear words that will forever change our lives. This collection of unforgettable stories, told by a group of women who span four decades, will help you find the resilience to persevere. These stories will show you that whatever challenge you are facing or will inevitably face--none is too great to keep you from joy.

"The twelve women who have bravely shared their poignant and compelling stories represent the best of us; their voices deserve to be recognized. I could not move from one chapter to the next without taking time to be still and reflect upon the magnitude of life experiences filling the pages. This book is a treasure trove of wisdom that comes from both the sorrows and joys of life." --Diane K. Anderson, PHD, Vice President for Student Affairs, Western Michigan University

"This book is a fount of hope. While reading this book, I felt my spirit strengthen and love envelop me. I heard a still, small voice encourage me to take life head on and live every day to its fullest. This primer for life deserves to be on every nightstand." --Arnie Holtberg, former headmaster and author of Game On
