"""When We Could Not See the Moon starts as any normal day and builds to a maximum crescendo. It truly demonstrates the necessity of justice, the exigency of human dignity, the purpose of family, and the power of prayer."" --Lawrence Wasden, former Idaho attorney general ""When We Could Not See the Moon is a testament to the strength of faith and family in the face of adversity. As Jon and Tracy recount the ordeal of their daughter Hanna's imprisonment in Egypt, their trust in God's love and providence shines through. Guided by the truth that 'in all things God works for the good of those who love Him' (Romans 8:28), the Willems family harnessed their faith to find the courage and resilience needed to bring Hanna home. From the timing of Hanna's judge issuing her release on bail to the compassion of her cellmate Inara whose kindness reflected God's light in the darkest of places, this true story reminds us that God is always by our side. Jon and Tracy's vulnerable reflections drive home the power of faith--not as a magic shield against hardship but as a foundation from which we can weather any storm, knowing we are held in the arms of a loving God. When We Could Not See the Moon will reaffirm your belief in miracles and inspire you to trust more deeply in God's plan."" --Shaan Sharma, actor playing ""Shmuel"" on The Chosen ""This gripping true account of a young international traveler being un justly accused, arrested, and imprisoned will keep the reader in suspense as the story unfolds from multiple perspectives. This book is an encouraging reminder that compassionate humanity isn't limited by ethnicity, religion, language, or status; we are all part of a bigger story. God will often work outside our expectations and bring the most diverse people together to accomplish His divine purposes and change us in the process."" --Pastor Keith Waggoner, Grace Bible Church ""This is a must-read for any parent or anyone who has ever wanted to travel beyond the borders of the United States. When We Could Not See the Moon is a riveting story that combines friendship and faith with so many twists and turns that any reader will rethink their perspective when situations are beyond their control."" --Maryanna Young, CEO of Aloha Publishing ""What a story! Once I got started, I could not stop reading the book. One of the great epiphanies to parents is that they will always be parents to their children no matter what their stage in life. This is a story of trusting God every minute of every hour of every day of a painfully long ordeal. The faith and hope exhibited throughout this difficult jailing is infectious."" --Dennis Johnson, retired president and CEO of a US national insurance company"
