About the Book

The overwhelming powers of catastrophe and great loss can alter our lives in many ways. If we are not careful the perception of wickedness created by these circumstances will become the darkened shadows in which we live. Our capacity to humbly grow and change will be limited by the walls we build around us. This family's expreience with one of life's tragedies is encouragement for anyone experiencing an upside-down mountain. The storm they endured can be substituted for many of the traumatic situations an earthly experience can bring.

Fear, shame, guilt and regrets can be found within the emotional breaking point of each character's thoughts, dictating a personal change. If the need for change is taken seriously integrity and commitment to changing will take hold. The commitment to move with the flow of change will bring about growth in new directions. Along the path of a new direction one will find the strength to let go of pain, the courage to grow in faith, and the wisdom to let almighty God have His way.

Brenda, the main character of the story, tells the story of one families perplexing dilemma in facing the suicide of their beloved mother; no life entrusted to the hand's of Jesus can be a failure. The truth of God's word is revealed as the three sisters stumble from defeat to survival and ultimately victorious living. Each rediscovers the gifts of belief and faith their parents instilled. Their unwavering belief and faith in a Jesus, who in a response of love speaks outside the boundries of the establishment, creates the bonds of new family ties. New ties that hold the family together and foster in each person the sense of connectedness needed to live healthier endings and more prayerful beginnings.
