Detours In Our Destinations: Anthology to Inspire Hope & Healing
Multi- authored anthology of short stories and original poetry designed to inspire hope and healing in families affected by child loss at any age. The catalyst behind forming this anthology was to celebrate an individual's ability to persevere in the face of extreme emotional duress. The stories are poignant retellings, mostly because many of them come from first-hand experiences. The endings will leave you cheering for the protagonists and feeling an overwhelming sense of optimism that perhaps there really is a grand plan predestined for us all. We only have to find that small glimmer of hope in the everyday in order to overcome whatever troubles are thrown our way. We will and can find healing despite loss. If you only allow yourself to be open to life's unexpected Detours In Our Destinations!

Awesome stories! Sad but uplifting. Having lost a daughter in 1979, I could identify with the emotions of many of the characters. I wish I could have read this back then. Maybe it would have helped me cope. It was so hard! Although I still feel sadness when thinking of her, I have been blessed with 4 sons & many grandchildren. It was a detour in my destination but my eventual destination was a good one.

This anthology is an uplifting collection of stories that make the reader believe in the power of love and life again. I enjoyed reading each author's specific viewpoint on what it means to find strength in times of hardship. I especially loved the story by D.A. Roach. I very much appreciate her style of writing and the way she uses words to paint the story in the reader's mind. The content of the story was also very engaging and encouraging. Overall, I would recommend this anthology to readers who want to know a little bit more about what finding happiness means to those who have suffered through great losses in their lives.
