About this audiobook
Roma brings authenticity and refreshing keys that guide you out of despair, pain and grief to a place where you can smile again. A life filled with one trauma after another; her daughter brutally murdered, her husband and grand-daughter killed in a light plane crash. Roma has stepped out of the prison of grief and become a prisoner of hope and wholeness.
