In 2001, Janie Wells’ 30 year-old daughter, Joann, was brutally murdered. Within days of burying her daughter, she came to the realization that the way she handled this loss would determine her soul’s destination in powerful ways. This profoundly moving book chronicles a mother’s grief, the powerful ways in which she heals, and the growing realization that we are never separated from those we love. Even in death, our loved ones are present and exercise a power for good in our lives. Drawn from her own journal, Joann’s journal, and interviews with friends and relatives, this is a book of powerful inspiration and practical steps one can take to become like a phoenix rising from the ashes of their seemingly destroyed life.
