It was my parent's decision to share this story with all of you or keep it as a treasure for themselves...
will you take a moment to thank them below?
Once again their strength and generosity amazes me.
We love you Mom and Dad!
Inspired by memories of time spent with my parents and sister along the shores of Lake Ontario.
I don’t claim to understand how my parents felt after the loss of their youngest daughter, yet I do see how they changed. This is how I saw tragedy change my parents since Heidi’s disappearance over eighteen years ago.
Photographs of some of our glass rocks are within this book as a reminder that once-broken shards have potential to become more beautiful, because of the waves beating against them. Just like my parents!

When the Waves Subside ~ There is Hope, formatted like a children's book yet it's message is for adults. A forty-four page book with an analogy for life, especially the life of the parents searching for their lost child. Yet today, I learned this story is deeper than I thought and resonated in the hearts of the few who read it during the editing and development.
Illustrations share some memories of Lake Ontario, while photographs let you see the very rocks found along the lake shore with my parents by Heidi and myself.

This is a story of hope as my parents, the grieving parents, live their days after the loss of their child. This isn't my parent's story, but an illustration of the amazing strength I see in my parents.
My parents generosity and strength never ceases to amaze me. I didn't intend to put this up for sale yet after feedback from my editor and friends I started to pray.
I wrote this book for my parents. If the Lord wanted it available then my parents would be the ones to offer, not me. When they asked me, I said, "It is yours, you decide." They're hearts to help others are big (but I'm not supposed to tell, so shh!). Their response, "If you think people would like it, we think you should."
Thank you Mom and Dad! I love you! The book won't be available on Amazon until February, I want my parents to have their copies first. It is the least I can do.
