Fifty Days to Sunrise

By Cristine Eastin

Description:

Her life is a love story, but then…What’s a woman to do when her husband dies three thousand miles from home? Scream, cry—or run. It’s 2003, a year and a half after her husband’s death. Fifty-three years old and alone, Lissa Maguire’s seething with grief. She has to cope but makes a self-destructive mess of it. Lissa’s parents ask her to spend the summer in small-town Gifford, Minnesota, helping them move to an apartment. Cleaning out the attic of her childhood home, Lissa discovers her old diaries, and her potholed road to healing begins. But when an old friend turns up, she’s confused…and surprised.

Book Takeaway:

Emotional healing.

Why the author wrote this book:

I'm a psychotherapist and every day at the office is a day of working with emotionally hurting people. I wanted to write an encouraging, heart-touching story for women. "Fifty Days to Sunrise" is a love story: the love of family and friends, and God's healing love.
