This is the story of a homeless 93-year-old woman, obliged to live with her family: daughter, granddaughter, and grandson. Feeling herself along, abused by her daughter’s boyfriend, she seceded and surrendered for the great love she has for her very sick daughter. It also shows the strength and the courage she had to cope with the hostility of a cruel, manipulative man, and mostly the incredible pain of her dying child.

Finding joy in a tremendous pain is an art form, a delicate gift that is God-given when you learn to surrender to Him.
