Synopsis

Sometimes joy and grief are separated by mere moments. A last-minute run down a ski slope … a catastrophic accident … and an amazing young man is reduced to a comatose form in a hospital bed. His adoring fiancée remains to weep, pray, grieve, rage, and struggle with the jagged trauma of suffering and loss. Some questions have no answers. Some things in life just don’t make sense—including God. And yet … There is God. There is a deeper, more real faith that roots in the wasteland. There is a promise that comforts, and there is hope, and there is life. Pieces of Glass is the poignant, deeply personal chronicle of a young woman’s journey through grief. With eloquence and relentless honesty, author Sarah Kay shares the emotional ebb and flow of her own heart and spirit—and in so doing, reassures, comforts, and encourages us all.

Goodreads review by Kristina on March 14, 2019

This book was written in a raw and beautiful light. Sarah Kay shared her own faith (bumps and bruise included) and caused me to revisit and ponder my own. We all must face moments of tragedy and sorrow, embrace them even. Her story is heart wrenching, tender, precious and purposeful. It is filled wi......more

Goodreads review by Sarah on November 06, 2019

Some thoughtful snippets about the almost loss of someone to catastrophic disability: "I have moments when tomorrow is on the tip of my tongue, and yesterday is still wrapped around my shoulders." "Time marches on whether I like it or not." "In my quiet existence I have been trying to rebuild some semb......more
