2017 ECPA Christian Book Award Finalist (Biography and Memoir category)What happens afterthe worst happens?Before May 31, 2008, September Vaudrey's life was beautiful. But on that day, with one phone call from the ER, her whole world--everything she knew and believed--was shaken to the core.

This is one book that will stay with me forever. It is powerful, heartbreaking, compassionate and a story that is every family's worst nightmare. There are really no words to say to a parent that would comfort them during this time, but this book definitely made me realize how short life can be. As the saying goes, "In a blink of an eye."

Katie Vaudrey was a vibrant young woman who had just finished her freshman year at college. She was beginning her first day of her new job . She was outgoing, and loved to tell others about her love for God. One day a tragedy happened that forever changed the Vaudreys' family forever. The pain, grief, anger and depression quickly set in. Thank you September Vaudrey for sharing your story about the loss of your daughter. Your words will someday help another family as they grieve the loss of their child. Katie was taken too soon and no parent is ever ready for that. As I read the book, I felt the tears roll down my face. The unbearable pain I felt for this family was overwhelming. They say time heals all wounds, but sometimes those wounds are too deep . I am thankful I had an opportunity to read this book and be challenged to remember everyday is precious.

I received a copy of this book from Tyndale Bloggers Program for an honest review. ( )
