Pacific Book Awards Winner A true story of a woman with an extraordinary gift, and a greater purpose that’s not immediately evident. A car accident leaves a family in a predicament, and triggers a series of remarkable events. When their elderly neighbor Astrid comes into the picture, everything changes. It’s the least of the family’s expectations that her involvement will impact the rest of their lives. Astrid seems to have all the answers and promptly sets her plan into action. With wisdom, intuition, and maybe a little bit of help from above, she makes everything turn out just right. But that was only the beginning.... A very engaging narrative, this surely is one of those inspirational stories that shouldn’t be missed. Emotional, humorous, and a little bit mysterious, it’s a short story well worth reading. Some things you just can’t explain. There are bigger things at work, beyond our understanding. Accept them with trust, and be grateful. And have faith that good things will happen. Authors Note: Ten percent of the author’s profits will be donated between Autism Speaks, and the Westover Pantry to benefit the families of the military reservists stationed at the Westover Air Reserve Base in Chicopee, Massachusetts.
