Overview

With the death of his youngest child on Thanksgiving morning 2021, author Bryan Anderson faced a grief he could not comprehend, and healing seemed impossible. The book you now hold in your hand came from his own journey and was necessary for his own healing. This is a compilation of thirty-seven stories and a letter to his child, which were written mostly within the first year after his child’s death. It is deeply personal. It is raw in emotion. It also reflects how God worked with him during the many dark days that followed that Thanksgiving morning.
