I knew I would be moved by this book, but I didn’t know how. Because I’ve had the chance to get to know Shannon over the last few years, I was familiar with much of the story, but it was in fact her hopeful arc that bends toward redemption that surprised me. (And it was really, really well-written as well—something I can’t say about a lot of books in Christian spaces.)

I've followed Shannon from afar for many years as our blogging days overlapped. In another life, I think we would have been friends. She has dealt with more than any one human ever should and continues to show up with humor, courage, hope, and of course, bravery. This book is such a comfort for the person who is hurting.

I voluntarily read and reviewed an advanced copy of this book. All thoughts and opinions are my own.

This was such a lovely read - poignant, moving, and inspiring but with parts that made me laugh out loud. I found myself highlighting quotes practically ever other page! She truly has one of the most heartbreaking, yet hope-giving stories I've ever read.

I have followed Shannon on Twitter for a while and was so excited to read her book. It was a natural continuation of her wit and inspirational words. She covered a wide variety of topics, all with her usual considerate touch.

Thank you to NetGalley for the ARC!

As a young widow, there were so many things in Shannon's book that I identified with or needed to hear. I'm glad I got this on Kindle because I highlighted and added notes like crazy.
