  <default-description>Ten years ago, Kate Braestrup and her husband Drew were enjoying the life they shared together. They had four young children, and Drew, a Maine state trooper, would soon begin training to become a minister as well. Then early one morning Drew left for work and everything changed. On the very roads that he protected every day, an oncoming driver lost control, and Kate lost her husband. Stunned and grieving, Kate decided to continue her husband's dream and became a minister herself. And in that capacity she found a most unusual mission: serving as the minister on search and rescue missions in the Maine woods, giving comfort to people whose loved ones are missing, and to the wardens who sometimes have to deal with awful outcomes. Whether she is with the parents of a 6-year-old girl who had wandered into the woods, with wardens as they search for a snowmobile rider trapped under the ice, or assisting a man whose sister left an infant seat and a suicide note in her car by the side of the road, Braestrup provides solace, understanding, and spiritual guidance when it's needed most. HERE IF YOU NEED ME is the story of Kate Braestrup's remarkable journey from grief to faith to happiness. It is dramatic, funny, deeply moving, and simply unforgettable, an uplifting account about finding God through helping others, and the tale of the small miracles that occur every day when life and love are restored.</default-description>

    <body><![CDATA[This is a good book.  A very good book.  I read it quickly and shared some of the stories with my husband and son.  It made me think... which is the mark of a good book.  What a wonderful thing to be able to ponder ideas and sort feelings while driving carpool, making meatloaf and doing laundry.

    <body><![CDATA[I really enjoyed reading this book. It was amazing to read about this woman's journey after her husband died. To see how she dealt with things and how her life changed and the things she learned. Her writing was very conversational, nothing fancy or special, but I liked how it felt as though we were...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/37104915">more...</a>]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[A lovely, quiet, funny book about finding grace and comfort in unexpected ways.  Beautifully written.  After reading this, I felt guilty for saying such snotty things about Unitarians, the religion that refuses to pick a side.  (I was forced to go to Unitarian Sunday school as a child, and even then...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/20520834">more...</a>]]></body>
