Colors of Goodbye
Author: September Vaudrey
Publisher: NavPress
ISBN: 149641246X
Category : Biography & Autobiography
Languages : en
Pages : 319
Book Description
2017 ECPA Christian Book Award Finalist (Biography and Memoir category) What happens after the 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. Katie, her 19-year-old artist daughter, had been in a car accident and would not survive. How does a family live in the wake of devastating tragedy? When darkness colors every moment, is it possible to find light? Can God still be good, even after goodbye? With the depth of C. S. Lewis’s A Grief Observed and the poignancy of Joan Didion’s The Year of Magical Thinking, Colors of Goodbye offers a moving glimpse into a mother’s heart. Combining literary narrative and raw reflection, September Vaudrey walks through one of life’s worst losses—the death of a child—and slowly becomes open to watching for the unexpected ways God carries her through it. It’s a story of love and tragedy in tandem; a deeply personal memoir from a life forever changed by one empty place. And at its core, Colors of Goodbye calls to the deepest part of our spirits to know that death is not the end . . . and that life can be beautiful still.

Letting Go
Author: Philip Roth
Publisher: Vintage
ISBN: 0307788628
Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 641
Book Description
The first full-length novel from one of the most renowned writers of the twentieth century, the Pulitzer Prize–winning author of American Pastoral, tells the story of a mid-century America and offers “further proof of Mr. Roth's astonishing talent…. Letting Go seethes with life” (The New York Times). Published when Roth was twenty-nine and set in Chicago, New York, and Iowa city, Letting Go presents as brilliant a fictional portrait as we have of America in the 1950s defined by social and ethical constraints and by moral compulsions conspicuously different from those of today. Newly discharged from the Korean War army, reeling from his mother's recent death, freed from old attachments and hungrily seeking others, Gabe Wallach is drawn to Paul Herz, a fellow graduate student in literature, and to Libby, Paul's moody, intense wife. Gabe's desire to be connected to the ordered "world of feeling" that he finds in books is first tested vicariously by the anarchy of the Herzes' struggles with responsible adulthood and then by his own eager love affairs. Driven by the desire to live seriously and act generously, Gabe meets an impassable test in the person of Martha Reganhart, a spirited, outspoken, divorced mother of two, a formidable woman who, according to critic James Atlas, is masterfully portrayed with "depth and resonance." The complex liason between Gabe and Martha and Gabe's moral enthusiasm for the trials of others are at the heart of this tragically comic work.

Detective Ramon advises her to come to the police station, where Amanda meets her three-year-old grandson, Sam, for the first time. Amanda is given custody of Sam and must not only ease him out of his trauma, but explain the family secret of clairvoyance – while going through the battles of showing him how to cope with it – and guard it. She has the strength, but doubts her stamina over the long haul. Amanda must convince her grandson that he is not evil and that his clairvoyance is a part of him to use as a guide in helping others. As for Sam, he doubts his abilities and wants to forget he has such a gift. To him, it’s a burden too great to bear. Fifteen years later, on the night of his high school winter formal, Sam runs into a gang in the parking lot. His doubts about his abilities keep him from seeing and believing in himself, landing Sam in the emergency room, where he lays near death. Amanda needs to show Sam his true calling before it’s too late. And Sam must accept who he really is before he makes the biggest mistake of his life.
