Description
An inspirational story for anyone who’s grieving, Through the Darkness explores the unbreakable bonds between loved ones, even after death.
On April 18, 2017, Charlie unexpectedly loses her only child, sixteen-year-old Isaac. Devastated, she throws herself into investigating the circumstances of his death, which she suspects was related to medical negligence. As Charlie falls into darkness, she begins to sense that Isaac is communicating with her from the other side, a spiritual realm where he returns after crossing over. There, Isaac calls upon four generations of his ancestors to help him save his mother’s life.
Not long after, Charlie learns that her husband, Chris, has terminal cancer. Pushed to the brink, Charlie embarks on a quest for answers and consults with world-renowned psychic medium Allison DuBois. Based on actual events, Through the Darkness is filled with thought-provoking discussions and acts as a road map for navigating through grief to a place of renewed hope and purpose in life.

I am both pensive and reeling after reading this awe inspiring book. It is not enough to say that this work is rich. The author takes us seamlessly through a world of both soul deep pain and hope via alternating chapters depicting her daily struggles and triumphs, and ideation of that of her son's afterlife. Peppered throughout are facts, fables and poems on art, science, religion and spirituality, as well as philosophy, nature and history.
If you have ever desired an understanding of what this life is about and what comes after it, you'll find a painful sense of delight in this read.

A brilliant, well written novel that was impossible to put down. The novel encompassed the journey of grief and pain, soul searching, spirituality and life after death. This book is highly recommended to all readers who are seeking hope and purpose in life or struggling with grief.
