About the Book
On a Los Angeles freeway in a cloud of dust and a spray of motorcycle parts. In a ball of fire just one mile short of a snowy airport runway in Colorado. Along the side of a California desert highway covered in enough gravel to make a truck spin and flip side over side. Three tragedies leave the destroyed lives of three women in their wake, who upon hearing the news, descend into a hell only a miracle can begin to heal.
Alone in their grief, God uses the painful passage of time to begin to do something none of them had any understanding of—to weave their lives together for a greater calling. Three women who didn’t know each other are brought into relationship, and then purpose, none of them could have achieved on their own. It’s tragic, devastating and beautiful.
