Story Behind The Book
Time is one of the most precious gifts we can give to each other. In the hustle, bustle and clutter of our lives, we forget to take time to nurture relationship with those that have impacted us.
There are the promises of tomorrow and the excuses of why not today. Then we find ourselves out of time to fulfill the empty promise of tomorrow. That is when guilt, regret, and grief consumes us and we long with all our beings for that second chance.
That chance to say thank you for believing in me. Thank you for picking me up when I could not longer move forward. A chance to let that person know that not a day passes that they are a part of it in thought, action, or spirit.
That is what Coming Home - A Second Chance is about. How to move beyond the grief and finding self-forgiveness.
