~Read Snippets~

Liliora shook her head. “If Adon Olam wants it, I will not listen to my fears.” Yet tears welled up even in the words, and she felt her heart failing her.

She couldn’t imagine ever wanting to smile again, but rest sounded wonderful. If only she could truly rest—from the pain, the heartbreak, the gaping emptiness in her heart.

“Lili, just remember: Adon Olam never leaves emptiness. He fills that emptiness with something greater. I can’t tell you what it will be, and I can’t tell you that it’s not going to hurt—because it will hurt—but I can tell you that the pain isn’t the final answer. It’s not the end of the story. Let Him finish the story.”
