Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: I thought about the times when I didn’t know if I would live, and about the times I didn’t know if I wanted to live… These musings drifted through my mind as I held Steven close, being careful not to hug too tightly for fear of somehow disrupting the metal rods that held his frail upper body together. I knew our thoughts were similar- that sometimes leaving this world seems so much easier than living through the pain. I wanted to somehow will this once strong and powerful young Marine toward life. He knew me as a friend and as the USA Runner, and he respected what I had done to earn that title. I hoped my words would carry weight, as I whispered in his ear, “Steven, please try to hang on. Nash needs you. Your mom needs you. Please Steven, try to make it.” This is a story about hope. It is a story of survival. More than that-it is a story about the broken and the caring. For one, without the other, will not last. Katie Strong, USA Runner

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Marriage is a covenant and a long-term commitment made between two people and God. Many people really don't consider "till death do we part" as a true reality when they recite their wedding vows. We never thought about that inevitable reality that one of us would be a widow or a widower. Our "till death do us part" came much sooner than we expected. Marriage is not for the faint of heart. God must be in the center if you want your union to be richly blessed and sustained. True love is unwavering. Throughout our marriage, God revealed it required a mutual mindset of patience, prayer, love, and commitment to maintain a healthy godly marriage. Our marriage was designed to mirror the relationship of Jesus Christ and his church. The author, Sandra Washington, shares openly about the beauty and even trials of their thirty-three-year marriage before her beloved husband, Wayne, passed away unexpectedly at the age of fifty-six. The widowhood journey is not an easy path. But most importantly, readers will know how God uses trials and tribulations to make each of us draw closer to Him. God is true to His promises. There is beauty for ashes, joy for mourning, and a lot of praise in this widow's journey. Our Story: A Widow's Journey is a story of love, hope, and faith.
