Did the book come to a satisfactory close? I thought the book left off on a fantastic note. Although Carol Kent's ending has a great sadness because she is no longer with her son I feel that through the entire book this is the first time she finally sees the light. She excepts what life has given her and believes that everything happens for a reason. Her belief is that God will take care of everything and that you can't change what has happened but you can take control of whats happening now. " The faith that gets us through unthinkable circumstances begins with being flat-out needy and allowing God's love to wrap us up, hold us close, and dry our tears. One day we discover that our cries are being transformed into life-giving, healthy tears that are rebirthing faith, hope and joy. And life doesn't get much better than that!" Its an ending that allows happiness to enter a life of depression because we complain all the time and get sad about little bumps in the road but this person is still happy about a life without her own child. This shows that there are no excuses for a having a bad day. She also concludes that no matter how much you try to run from God he will still be in the presence . "God loves us when we don't want him to love us."- Carol Kent
