First published 2012
Leslie Haskin survived the September 11 attacks, but her trials were far from over. She battled post-traumatic stress disorder, lost her home, struggled through unemployment, watched an engagement crumble, and faced a cancer scare. Through it all, she raised a teenage son alone. Haskin draws from these painful experiences to tackle the questions that surface when life falls apart. She examines why circumstances feel chaotic, whether prayer makes any difference, and how to discern what God expects from us. Combining her personal journey with biblical perspectives, she offers practical encouragement for readers seeking stability and meaning. Her approach is grounded in real struggle rather than easy answers, making her insights accessible to anyone wrestling with disappointment and uncertainty.
