Publisher's Synopsis
What do you do when tragedy strikes, leaving you with the agony of not knowing? How do you cope with the years, months, weeks, days, minutes, even seconds of unbearable desperation, waiting, hoping, praying for the right answer, any answer? And the rest of the world moves on.... Is it flight or fight? Katie, a wife, mother, healer, finds herself stranded in a sea of terrifying unknowns after the disappearance of her husband, John. Later known as the week from hell, the emotional roller-coaster, and, privately by Katie, as the awakening, those first seven days following John's disappearance became the catalyst of transformation. But first, Katie had to learn to dig deep. Drawn in by the pleas of a kindred spirit, Katie sets aside her torment and dives headlong into a local tragedy, long misunderstood. A son consumed by hatred, a father in need of redemption, and a mother, frantically reaching out, her restless soul in need of closure, Katie reaches back in time and in turn reaches inward, learning to love herself, learning to free herself. Set in the beautiful great lakes state of Michigan, this epic tale traverses multiple generations through American history, from the ingenuity and resiliency of the American immigrant to the momentum of today's millennials, illustrating what we know so well, that our past is our present is our future. That true freedom, whether this generation or the next, this world or next, requires the foundation of faith, the healing of hope, and the Beauty of Digging Deep.
