Download or read book Good to a Fault written by Marina Endicott and published by Anchor Canada. This book was released on 2013-06-04 with total page 395 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In a moment of self-absorption, Clara Purdy's life takes a sharp left turn when she crashes into a beat-up car carrying an itinerant family of six. The Gage family had been travelling to a new life in Fort McMurray, but bruises on the mother, Lorraine, prove to be late-stage cancer rather than remnants of the accident. Recognizing their need as her responsibility, Clara tries to do the right thing and moves the children, husband, and horrible grandmother into her own house--then has to cope with the consequences of practical goodness. What, exactly, does it mean to be good? When is sacrifice merely selfishness? What do we owe in this life and what do we deserve? Marina Endicott looks at life and death through the compassionate lens of a born novelist: being good, being at fault, and finding some balance on the precipice.

Over time, she withstands a string of abusive experiences and relationships that always end in heartbreak. Read about the tragedy of the four miscarriages she endures, the attempts at suicide, and several devastating medical diagnoses. Then, read on to find out how her inner strength, determination, and a deep spiritual belief in a Divine Force she simply calls LOVE, helps her to heal. Though faced with the on-going challenges of her systemic illnesses, Lyn ultimately triumphs to live a life of joy, peace, and service to others. The keys of faith and willingness unlock the door and ultimately make her whole.
