- Henry Ellis

After losing her husband to cancer at 29, Amanda turned to writing, faith, and dance to navigate grief.

TESTIMONIALS

In this tender and lyrical memoir, Amanda Pretorius McLaughlin walks us through the unimaginable loss of her husband—and the divine glimpses that met her in the quiet aftermath.

More than a story of sorrow, this is a story of collision: between heartbreak and healing, grief and glory, faith and the unthinkable.

What if the places that break you are also where God begins to show you something sacred?

If you've ever stood in the middle of your pain and whispered, Where are You, God?—this book will help you hear His answer.

This book is for anyone:

  • Wrestling with loss and looking for God's nearness

  • Struggling with faith after unanswered prayers

  • Walking the road of widowhood or caregiving

  • Searching for beauty in the ruins

Because sometimes, the miracle isn’t what you expected. It’s the God who remains when everything changes.
