When Jeanne Fournier's twenty-six-year-old son John walked into her house in California and said, "Get out the shovel, I'm HIV positive," she knew that her life had suddenly changed in ways she could never have imagined. Thus began the ordained minister's journey of seventeen years, which she recounts in uplifting, honest detail in Grieving with Grace, her deeply affecting new book of strife and spirituality. It's certain to comfort anyone faced with challenging circumstances and help readers seek out God to work through life's most trying times. From gut-wrenching grief to loss of faith to sheer anger, she soon realized that this turn of events was "Too Damn Big." First, when she wasn't on speaking terms with God, she turned to her deceased mother Gertrude for guidance, and was greatly comforted to discover signs that her mother's presence made itself known from the other side. With grace and a tender heart, one mother embarked on a journey that no parent should have to face. However, she leaves a legacy in Grieving with Grace, her gentle, open-eyed account of a faith shaken by the unimaginable, and made all the stronger for it in the end. It's a story of loss and love, and the Spirit that presides over both to help us endure.
