“This story might break your heart, but it will fill it again. Rich in detail, deep in meaning, with an intimate and embracing voice.”
— Sandra Scofield, Author, Mysteries of Love and Grief
Without warning, disaster strikes: On a family vacation in Austria, Janice Jensen’s children played near a sleepy stream. Suddenly the water rose catastrophically. Miles upstream, a power company had released a raging torrent that rushed down and swept away her young son. How does a grief-stricken young mother rebuild her life and rediscover joy? This life-affirming memoir follows Janice’s decades-long journey from deepest anguish to teaching, dancing, and living abroad in Colombia, Syria, and Saudi Arabia.
