Overview

Victory can come through tragedies when we lean on the strength of Jesus Christ and each other.

Editorial Reviews

“Lynette sensitively shares a difficult part of her life to bring faith, hope, and love to others who are in need. Her caring attitude is a healing balm to grieving people who have a terminally ill child or have lost a loved one.”

Mike Goodman, Elder

“Lynette has shared her heart and soul through the recounting of her daughter's tragic battle with cancer. I doubt any reader will get through this book with a dry eye. However, the helpful and practical advice Lynette offers to those suffering through the sickness or loss of a loved one shows the growth process that God has taken her through and the healing He has done in her life. This story is sure to offer hope to those who are struggling.”
