"In this compelling story of personal dreams laid aside in order to bring life to another, professional athlete Veronica Karaman unfolds the meaning of agape love. Through the game of golf, an aging, terminally-ill mother is brought into a loving relationship with her daughter where before there had been only emotional vacancy. Amazingly, her mother outlives the doctor's death sentence by almost seven years--years of adventure and fulfillment. Told with humor, passion, and at times breathtaking spiritual insight, My Shot of Joy reminds us that the Holy Spirit is the force behind reconciliation, that through our willingness to love others sacrificially, we can be healers in a broken world."
