Linda Williams Harris takes the reader through joys of motherhood as well as the tragic death of her son. In her poetry we understand the depth of a mother's love and the devastation death can bring to the soul. But more importantly we see the source of her strength and how her faith in God was renewed during her journey through grief.
A Flower In My Garden speaks of her role as a new mother, of rearing small children, and then coping with the sudden tragic death of her second child. Each poem tells a story of its own. The reader shares her most intimate feelings as she faces for the first time entering in his room, disposing of his things, and the hurt each new season brings.
A Thought in the Night was actually written first. Linda believes these poems were reconciling with God. Her need to purge the anger and guilt and find peace with death was necessary for her healing to begin.
Since writing this book, Linda has developed a new sense of purpose. She hopes this book will help others find new meaning to their life after the death of a child.
