Description

 

Life is like a book.
Some chapters break you.
Some make you smile.
And some change you forever —
whether you are ready or not.
Joy Mills wasn’t ready.
This book wasn’t planned. Neither was cancer. Neither was the
sudden passing of her son Greg. Neither were the dark nights
she thought she’d never escape. Life handed her more than
she believed she could carry.
She carried it anyway.
There is no way to reconcile loss like this. She can write about
it — place words around the edges so you understand the
shape of the wound. But make peace with it? No. Her cancer
and Greg’s death belong in the same story because they both
marked the undoing of the life she knew. One cracked the
foundation. The other brought the house down.
That is the truth.
Some days, she still wishes death would take a vacation.
This is the story of learning to live on the days it doesn’t.
