I think this book sounds very sad, but also uplifting in a way. When life throws such tragic things our way, it's often hard not to question God. All I know is that He works in all circumstances. And good comes out of sorrow and tragedy. I've seen it in my own life. Thanks for sharing about this one. Not sure I'll pick it up, but I do appreciate the quote you shared. I believe that too.

Sounds very sad and I'm not sure if I'm in the mood now to read this, but I do want to give it a try.

Did you know Emilie was Bruce Jepsons niece? I got to meet Alissa at a TOFW event. When she told her story there wasn’t a dry eye in the room.

I’m glad it doesn’t focus on the shooting too much. I wouldn’t be able to handle that. Sounds like a heart wrenching read.

I'm glad it focuses on faith, hope, and healing. I think this would be a difficult book to read and you'd have to be in the right mindset to read it. So sad. :(

Wow. Just that quote you chose had me tearing up. I can see why you say have a box of tissues nearby when reading this book.

Gosh this must be a tough read but sounds like it is worth it. Great review!

What a heartbreaker. I donated to the Sandy Hook Promise last year and now the picture of those children pop up in my feeds all the time. It always gives me pause. I have a 7 year old and can't even imagine. It's good to see that she's been able to come to terms with the tragedy.
