I teach at Cole Valley Christian School in Boise and met you at the Family Christian Book Store signing. Thank you for leaving your book with Lara for me.
I just finished it this morning and have to tell you how much your book touched me. I have never cried so hard throughout the reading of a book. Part of my tears were for the story itself, which was so beautiful, some of the tears were from my dear Grandma who left earth shortly after giving her life to Jesus, and part of it for the fact that I just found out a friend of mine lost her son in December. I have not grieved with her yet as she lives in Oregon. When I finished your book I had to call her. I found she is not doing well and asked that I pray very hard for her and her family. I asked her if I could send her your book and she eagerly said yes. We also have another mutual friend who lost her son two years ago and I will send a copy to her.
I send this email to thank you for writing to touch hearts and give hope and to ask that you pray for these precious families to receive renewed hope in their grief as they read your book and that as they cry out to God, He will reveal His infinite love to them.
