Opis

Lynn Turner Smith, Ph.D. was born in the small town of Pineville, Kentucky at the foot of Pine Mountain. Life in Pineville was beautiful. It smelled of cypress and pear trees. It was woven with family and church and friends. And it was anchored by Lynn's Mama-her gentle, strong presence and her rich faith in God-a God which held the family together until one night, He took Lynn's Mama away, leaving behind two stunned little girls. And life would never be the same. A Seed of Hope is the honest unraveling of a girl's heart as she seeks to reconcile a motherless world with a heavenly father. Readers will be invited into the spiritual journey of an adolescent whose grief leads her into motherhood, marriage, and finally, a post-doctorate degree. And this grief, it takes her straight into the arms of her Mama's God-a God whom she discovers has been there, all along; a God who is in fact, good; a God who, in spite of life's tragedies, has never stopped loving her. Through hindsight she discovers God's providential care over her life and that he still has a purpose and plan for her life.
