(Nearly three decades ago, Paula D'Arcy began to write let...)
Nearly three decades ago, Paula D'Arcy began to write letters to her unborn child--letters in which she chronicled her emotions, hopes and dreams. A few years later, Paula's daughter and husband were killed in a tragic automobile accident?and the diary to Sarah became a journal that today brings tremendous healing, peace, and comfort to those immersed in their own grief. This new edition includes a foreword from Gerald Sittser, author of A Grace Disguised. As well, it updates the original edition with two new afterwords: one from the author, the second from the author's second daughter, whom Paula D'Arcy was carrying in her womb at the time of the accident that killed her first child and husband.

Paula D'Arcy talks about some of the sacred crucibles in her lifemoments when life took her to places she'd never anticipated and asked her to yield to things that could not be changed. The book includes her story of Morrie Schwartz, of Tuesdays with Morrie, and of the relationship they forged in the final eighteen months of his life. As Morrie wrestled with his imminent death, they both grew to feel a keen sense of their common humanity and a responsibility to give back to this world by helping others discover all that's possible in their lives.This story, and others gathered here, radically challenges one’s understanding of love.
