When your life blows apart, what do you do? Scream? Hide? Hate? Give up and die? Twenty-eight year-old Liller Burk crawled into the lap of God. This is her journal--the first torn and broken year alone in her cabin at Maincamp, thirty-seven miles from the nearest town in the Alaskan wilderness. This is her grief and fear, and her joy learning to trust her Heavenly Father as He gently guided her to a place of comfort and healing. Letters to Liller -- "I stayed up all night and read your book. I alternately cried and thanked God for all the blessings He has bestowed on me. The book is a wonderful testimony, and I just wanted to say thank you for sharing it." —a woman, about 40 "I want to thank you personally for visiting our school and more, for realizing and obeying God’s push to publish such a powerful book. I believe you made quite an impact on our high school kids."
—a high school librarian "My fiancee died suddenly a few years ago and there was so much that I went through. As I read your book it really spoke to my heart and encouraged me so much. Your story was so familiar and helped me walk through my own grief."
—a 35 year-old man "I was doing a testimonial speech based on my life for a ladies’ seminar. I worked on it for several months and was having a difficult time revisiting my past. You see, I was widowed at the age of 29 and had 4 girls to raise. I was angry for years. I believe God put your book in my hands. I realized I was truly selfish with my grief, unlike you who gave all the glory to God. During the speech, I held your book up as an example of having Christ in your life compared to me not having him in mine during a similar situation. Thank you for your trust in Christ which enabled you to open your life to help others. It certainly helped me."
