Lynnette delights in spending the days with her husband of twenty years and their six children.

I had to read the book in snipets because my pain was so fresh and the tears so easily near the surface. Her grief was my grief, and I cried for my own daughter as I cried for her sons and daughter as well.
However, I was not left to wallow in my grief. The running theme throughout the entire book was one of hope. Lynnette's words offered me a glimpse of the hope that was often too difficult for me to see through my own desperation. It spoke to me of true surrender and of true comfort. It reminded me I was not alone.
This is a must-read for any grieving family, and especially grieving mothers. You are not forsaken. You are blessed.

This book is worth reading whether or not you have experienced severe personal tragedy. Each one of us either has or will encounter pain and loss to some degree and Lynette's candid and honest handling of the subject has great value. This lady is real. She does not gloss over the pain, but points to the One who makes sense of it. No cliched, spiritual-sounding mumbo-jumbo in this book; just honest, sweet trust in Almighty God who is all-powerful, all-knowing and who loves us enough to see us through the pain of a fallen world. It's an easy read and will be time well spent!

To all out there who are wondering about this book, it is amazing! It is written from a pure heart. Mrs. Kraft sees her "afflictions" as coming from God and gives Him all the glory that is due Him for these times. He oftentimes sends these sort of affictions our way to see how we will respond to them. This book is the sign that she has gone through them with her head-held-high and gives all the glory to God for His unending grace and mercy in times like these.
I cannot recommend this book enough. It is just an absolutely stellar, God honoring book written from the humblest and meekest of hearts!
