Description

Jeannie Fredrick was living an enamored life. Larry, her husband of thirteen years, was managing a local bank, they lived in a beautiful house on a quiet lake, had a close group of friends, and her in-laws, whom she adored and was helping take care of, lived just down the street.One Sunday morning, Larry woke her up while he was in the middle of a heart attack, which he did not recover from. That time drew a line in the sand. From then on, it was before Larry died and after Larry died. This emotional book will make you cry when saying good-bye to the old life, laugh as she discovered skills she didn't ever want to know she possessed, and celebrate her small and large victories. Through the grace of God, Jeannie learned that she was stronger than she thought and found that by going through some difficulties she could conquer most anything she put her mind to including using a chainsaw. She came to understand the value of friendships yet knew when to set boundaries to take care of herself.
