by Jane Stowe (Author)
Did you grow up believing in fairy tales of youth suggesting that you could have a "happily ever after" life story? Or maybe your experience was more along the line of someone telling you that you would have a wonderful life if you just (fill in the blank). Most people will say that disappointment in life is a common experience that we all share. Maybe it wouldn't really surprise you at all to find out that life is meant to be a test of endurance, filled with trials and tribulations that are specifically designed by a loving God meant for your benefit. Even so, there will be times when you will trip and fall just skinning your knees, while at other times, you may lunge straightforward into a dark abyss.
As someone who passionately believes that we all have a story to tell, Jane Stowe offers spiritual insight gained from her passage down a road of breathtaking brokenness into a life of gratitude. She carries the reader from her early years to develop a story that weaves excruciatingly through innocence, profound loss, confusion, and her own personal failures toward a heart-wrenching acceptance that all we can ultimately control is not what happens to us as much as how we respond to what happens to us.
Her desire is that you will see within these pages that her spiritual journey was assuredly blessed by God's grace and His love and that we can have hope that a happy ending is available to all. However, she also acknowledges that refresher courses may be required from time to time. Jane believes there are no coincidences in life, and perhaps even finding this book in your hands may have been assisted by divine providence.
