"A tear-jerking account of a woman of unwavering faith. A passionate mum and a doting wife, vulnerable enough to share the story of loss, yet so rooted in faith that God's promise of her restoration is still in her sight, even in the midst of the storm. An inspiration to women in the spiritual journey, career, and motherhood"

Author's Reflection

A glimpse into Alice's powerful story of faith through loss

Excerpt (Page 40–41)

Grief is a strange companion.
It doesn't knock.
It doesn't ask for permission.
It doesn't follow your schedule, or your theology, or your sense of fairness.
It just arrives. And it stays.

But on this journey through the valley, I have discovered something deeper than grief.
I have discovered God.

Not the God of quick fixes or easy explanations.
Not the God who gives us everything we want.
But the God who stays.
