On December 23, 2008, Tricia Cliff (the author), her husband and four children were all involved in a terrible vehicle accident while traveling home to visit family for the holidays. All four children would end up in the Pediatric Intensive Care Unit of Cleveland's Rainbow Babies and Children's Hospital on Christmas Day. The author began an email journal as a venue to inform family and friends. As the email thread grew...and grew, it became apparent that the author's faith, humor and tenacity during a time of great emotional and physical struggle was truly an inspiration to hundreds of readers, many of whom encouraged her to write a book. This is the product. The memoir contains all the unedited emails and hundreds of responses to those emails received from all over the world. It also includes many black and white photos. This is a wonderful book to read in order to strengthen your own faith or to give as a gift to someone who is experiencing trials of their own. Part of the proceeds of this book will go to support several charities, including- but not limited to-The Ronald McDonald House of Cleveland and West End Ministries of High Point, NC.

I have been closely reading your response to the accident. This has caused the faith to be purified and strengthened in 'Christ alone.' My own faith has been strengthened. --Rev. Dr. Chris Gnanakan, Bangalore, India

With all my respest and admiration, I think a book showing how tough it was, yet how powerful would be amazing. People would be enriched. --Sandy Cardona, FACES Program, Guatemala

5.0 out of 5 stars
Incredible journey,
By Donna Chung (Tyler, TX) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Love, Blessings and Seatbelts (Paperback)
"Merry Christmas. Hug your kids a little tighter tonight. 15 seconds can change everything." ---Tricia Cliff
What touched me about this book is the incredible journey this family went through and they still gave God the glory, even though they didn't know what the outcome was going to be. Tricia's writing brought to life what she was experiencing day by day while in the hospital. At times, I felt I was sitting with her holding Abby's hand. What an encouragement this book is to me.

Where There is Faith,
By
This review is from: Love, Blessings and Seatbelts (Paperback)
I am half way through the book and have been living it with them since I picked it up. I think that Tricia's style is much like Kate Braestrup's (Here if You Need Me) - she has a way of pulling you right into the story with her and making one feel the pain as well as the triumphs; it is such an incredible story of love, faith and strength. The messages of prayers from people everywhere sent to the Cliff family are very inspiring. The book reinforces to me that there are many people out there who not only have a deep faith but who also are not afraid to show it openly. I highly recommend it.
