    About this ebook

    My Dearest Christina starts out in a coffee shop where a grief-stricken father encounters a stranger. This mysterious person makes an outlandish offer that he promises will lift the pain and heartache not only for the father but also for everyone who knows his daughter.

    What follows is a poignant journey that examines a truly remarkable life. It is a life full of love, full of humor, full of grace, and yes, full of pain and disappointment. In short, it is a life that is lived well and truly touches everyone his daughter encounters.

    This book will move the reader. It will show how deep faith can sustain us even in the darkest hours. It is a tribute to the human spirit if we trust in a greater being.
