Anyone who has ever questioned God's goodness will
appreciate the true-to-life struggles in Karen Kingsbury's
Waiting for Morning. It is a harrowing tale of
inconceivable tragedy and one woman's challenge in her relationship
with God. A drunk driver named Brian Wesley takes the lives of
Hannah's family as they return home from a camping trip and
throughout the novel, she wrestles with the difficulties of
forgiving him. Wesley realizes God's grace in the midst of it all,
but Hannah's sorrow could either drive her to God or away.
From the Publisher
Hannah Ryan is the mother of two adorable little girls and the wife
of a doting husband. Her life is perfect -- until the night her
husband and eldest daughter are ripped away from her by a drunken
driver. Torn by grief and rage, Hannah finds her faith -- like that
of Jeremiah weeping over Jerusalem -- tested to the limits. As she
walks the long road of her own modern-day Lamentations, she must
learn to forgive... and finally discover that God''s mercies truly
are new every morning. Sometimes the road home is only found by
letting go.
Sgt. Miller cleared his throat. "I'm afraid there's been a
car accident..."
As Hannah Ryan waits for her family to return home from a camping
trip, she realizes she has everything going for her - a husband
other women admire, two charming teenage daughters, and a loving
Christian home. As the sunny afternoon turns into twilight, her
uneasiness grows along with the shadows. Then a car pulls into
Hannah's driveway, bringing two police officers...and devastating
news that shatters her life forever.
In the days that follow, Hannah struggles with unspeakable feelings
of sorrow and rage-feelings that fuse into one chilling purpose for
living: revenge against Brian Wesley, the drunk driver who has
caused all her pain.
In her fury, Hannah shuts the Lord out of her life. She's
determined not to forgive Wesley or the God who allowed this
tragedy to happen. Can two caring people help Hannah rediscover her
faith...before bitterness destroys her?
