One day, my husband called me and said two words, "lung cancer." At that moment life changed for my family, and I was in Safeway buying milk.

So began Carrie Lyons' most difficult year - the death of her father, father - in -law, and grandmother. She takes us on a life altering journey as she experiences the healing power of love and forgiveness through death and pain, that becomes as much about the reader as the author. We learn not only about her triumph but about ourselves and the relationships we have and how those relationships color who we are as people and who we can become on the other side of our own losses.

"It is a privilege to witness Carrie's confession of faith. By opening her life and inviting us in, Carrie takes us to a journey of anger, grief and redemption. This book is not just a story of an individual woman but it is a story of a family, the bonds that bind them and the resilience that it produces." Rev. Fr. Loreto B. Rojas, Jr.
