After believing God would heal her mom,
how does a 19 year old cope with not only the grief of losing her
mom at such a young age, but also the fractured trust created
between her and God?
This is a real

Ludeman; she bravely dives into the parts of grief that
can affect our faith. Grief is messy business.
