Kiss Goodbye: The Story of God's Presence in the Dark Night

by Deb Watson, Dwight Edwards (Foreword)

Kiss The Story of God’s Presence in the Dark Night, by Deb Watson, takes you into the intimate recesses of a family faced with an unspeakable tragedy. Following the sudden death of her nineteen-year-old daughter, author Watson entered her own dark night, and emerged on the other side touched by the steadfastness of God’s grace. This inspirational text shows the realities of the raw emotion that accompanies the loss of a child, but transcends misfortune by offering hope to other families facing similar calamities. Watson’s focus is not the pain of loss or the darkness that can envelope a family, but rather her message centers on how God can reach down and lift an entire family from the ashes, touching everyone with His miraculous healing. Written with the pathos of one who has lived through extraordinary events, Kiss Goodbye will make you laugh, cry, and ponder what really matters in your own life.

Deb is a family friend, and this book is the gut-wrenching account of the night her daughter was killed in a rollerblading accident. The true story is of faith in the aftermath of such a tragic event. We were visiting in Warroad the night the accident happened, and this book brought back an entire host of emotions. Deb is a beautiful woman and this story is just as beautiful.

I learned so much from reading this book. I learned about true Faith and strength. I already knew part of the story since the author is from my home town...I was amazed that such a sad story could be so uplifting.
