Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “Rarely do memoirs of grief combine anguish, love, and fury with such elegance.” — Entertainment Weekly In 2002, Ann Hood’s five-year-old daughter Grace died suddenly from a virulent form of strep throat. Stunned and devastated, the family searched for comfort in a time when none seemed possible. Hood—an accomplished novelist—was unable to read or write. She could only reflect on her lost daughter—“the way she looked splashing in the bathtub ... the way we sang ‘Eight Days a Week.’” One day, a friend suggested she learn to knit. Knitting soothed her and gave her something to do. Eventually, she began to read and write again. A semblance of normalcy returned, but grief, in ever new and different forms, still held the family. What they could not know was that comfort would come, and in surprising ways. Hood traces her descent into grief and reveals how she found comfort and hope again—a journey to recovery that culminates with a newly adopted daughter.

Download or read book Twelve Days of Cape written by Mike and published by Xlibris Corporation. This book was released on 2011-05 with total page 157 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: I started this book or writing to help Kathy and I deal with our grief in the loss our little granddaughter and the near loss of our daughter. I thought reliving the events would somehow help us cope with all the emotions one experiences during times when life hurts the most. For Kathy, it was a painful process. She would help me with certain events but could not review the writing. Reliving it was too painful for her. As for me, reliving those twelve days and the months after provided a stream for my tears to flow out of me and into the river of God's peace. In the early hours of the day, while sitting in my study I would write while the tears ran down my face. These tears were to me like small drops of rain God was sprinkling on me to wash away my sorrow. Some mornings I would feel that he too was crying with me, his tears were also running down my face. It was his tears that washed away my sorrow, my grief and replaced it with his love and his peace. His love for you and me is stronger than anything this world can throw at us. I learned many things during these days of remembrance. The one thing I learned that stands out the most is that God's hold on us is the strongest when life hurts the most. He never lets go. Our faith allows us to hold onto him while he is firmly holding onto us. He is most capable to hold on to my family and to yours in the palm of his righteous right hand.

Book excerpt: “[An] endearing romance . . . A comforting tale of love and forgiveness” from the beloved author of the Seasons of the Heart Amish romance series (Publishers Weekly). For widow Rose Raber, it’s been a year of tragic loss and difficult decisions. She thought providing for her young daughter was the greatest challenge she faced. Until her dying mother revealed that Rose was adopted—and her birth mother is someone with much to lose if the secret comes out. As Rose struggles to reconcile the truth with her faith—and her troubling curiosity—outgoing newcomer Matthias Wagler is another surprise she didn’t expect. His optimism and easy understanding inspire her. And his prospective partnership with wealthy deacon Saul Hartzler promises a possible new life for them—together. But with this second chance comes yet another revelation for all involved. When Saul’s wife unexpectedly turns up at Rose’s new job, their bond as mother and daughter is instant and unmistakable. And it isn’t long before an unforgiving Saul discovers the truth, threatening Matthias’s livelihood and Rose’s future.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From the USA TODAY bestselling author of Sweet Thing and Nowhere But Here comes a love story about a Craigslist “missed connection” post that gives two people a second chance at love fifteen years after they were separated in New York City. To the Green-eyed Lovebird: We met fifteen years ago, almost to the day, when I moved my stuff into the NYU dorm room next to yours at Senior House. You called us fast friends. I like to think it was more. We lived on nothing but the excitement of finding ourselves through music (you were obsessed with Jeff Buckley), photography (I couldn’t stop taking pictures of you), hanging out in Washington Square Park, and all the weird things we did to make money. I learned more about myself that year than any other. Yet, somehow, it all fell apart. We lost touch the summer after graduation when I went to South America to work for National Geographic. When I came back, you were gone. A part of me still wonders if I pushed you too hard after the wedding… I didn’t see you again until a month ago. It was a Wednesday. You were rocking back on your heels, balancing on that thick yellow line that runs along the subway platform, waiting for the F train. I didn’t know it was you until it was too late, and then you were gone. Again. You said my name; I saw it on your lips. I tried to will the train to stop, just so I could say hello. After seeing you, all of the youthful feelings and memories came flooding back to me, and now I’ve spent the better part of a month wondering what your life is like. I might be totally out of my mind, but would you like to get a drink with me and catch up on the last decade and a half? M
