Myths of a Merciful God - Brossura

Sarah Miranda is a strong,independent, single mother who is brought to her knees by one of life's most unimaginable losses: the accidental death of her child. Compounding this tragedy are the circumstances surrounding the birth of her little girl, as well as Sarah's own troubled past.Through the literal and figurative journey upon which Sarah embarks in the aftermath of this tragic loss, and the people she encounters along the way, Myths of a Merciful God explores the concept of divine retribution and intervention versus the gaping silence of an indifferent universe."To be sure," says author, Cynthia Ceilán, "no one ever emerges from tragedy and loss to resume life as it was before. We are changed every day, in big ways and small, by the events that transpire from one minute to the next, from one hour to another. Every decision we make between the dawn and the twilight of any ordinary day determines who we become—and shows us what we're really made of—in all the days that follow one extraordinary moment."Despite the sad genesis of Sarah's story, it is a tale that never loses sight of hope, or our remarkable ability to access and claim our own resilience.[Book Discussion Guide included in this edition.]
