Her house was on fire, and her youngest daughter was still inside with her daddy.

Through raw honesty, Kim shares what losing a child does to a mother’s heart and faith. Journey with her through a devastating loss, her search for truth and comfort as suffering became a constant companion and the realization that death does not have the final say. Hope does.
