Patty is a licensed mental health professional and a counselor. She was invited to present on Christian Pastoral Counseling for hundreds of indigenous pastors and church leaders. After the unexpected death of their 33-year-old son, both she and her husband, Dennis, invested the next year in mental health counseling from a licensed grief counselor. This time she was the client - not the counselor. As an avid writer, part of her therapy included journal entries as she expressed the emotions of her walk through her grief. Her book is an accumulation of those journal entries.

A young and devout woman is thrust into a drama she never anticipated. In a matter of weeks, she is the victim of adultery, rape, and the murder of her husband, in an attempt to cover up the perpetrator's crime. Then, her first-born son - the result of her rape - dies at seven days of age. How can she survive the emotional impact of these losses in her life? What would have devastated, incapacitated, and made most women bitter was the starting point of the life of one of the most infamous women in history.
