Book Description

July 15, 2009
When Kate Nardek discovers her neighbor’s suicide, she feels only horror and despair. She doesn’t know the tragedy will spawn new hope for both her troubled son and her long-forgotten dreams.

Falling into the Sun explores spiritual truths of Hindu, Native American and Judeo-Christian traditions as it unfolds the spiritual journey of a mother intent on helping her increasingly volatile, bipolar son. This life-affirming and powerfully uplifting story not only celebrates the strength and courage of the human spirit but also testifies to love’s never-ending ability to triumph.

This honest, heart-felt novel not only chronicles a mother’s journey to save her son, it reveals the remarkable ability of the human spirit to forgive, heal and love.
―Wendy Walker, author of Four Wives;
editor, Chicken Soup for the Soul—Power Moms

Format:Paperback
Falling into the Sun follows a parental path that gives a startling view of what life is like for a parent on an incredible quest to save a child. It is during this journey seeking knowledge that will keep her son off of a path of destruction that Kate's own heart is strengthened and opened by an amazing series of events. Kate's struggles and trials with her son Josh may not be typical. However, the ultimate goal of finding the spirit within that will lead us to a greater knowledge is an inspiration to all who read Charrie Hazard's touchingly told story of a mother's deep love and search for answers.

Parental Courage July 17, 2009
Format:Paperback
Falling into the Sun bares the raw parental confrontation with raising a child who is more than a teenage problem, but one that shows raw violent, confrontation followed by remorse. Bedroom doors are locked at night to protect sisters. Only one who has lived this can truly understand what Hazard is describing. Hazard writes well emptying her inner thoughts to analyze the complex dynamics. You live the experience as you read it. It gave me the feeling that I am not alone in struggling with an out of control child.
