<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br>With exquisite and vulnerable writing, cancer survivor Lynn Hartke shares her search for the answers to our hardest questions about life, death, and whether we can truly trust God.<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br>There comes a time in life when we find ourselves in the desert place of burning questions. <i>Why?</i> <i>Why me? </i>But even as we shake our fist heavenward, the heart whispers another question. <i>Who? Who are you, God? </i>It is a question of relationship, a question we all murmur in the hardest places.<br/><br/>Against the backdrop of the Sonoran Desert, Lynne Hartke asks her own hard questions as cancer arrives like a thief with one goal: to take it all. Hair. The contents of a stomach. A marriage. A life. As her days become a blur of doctors' appointments, treatments, and surgeries, she wrestles with a tumble of tangled emotions, a shaken faith, and self-doubt. Cancer is now not only threatening her own life, but, in a surprising twist, the lives of both her parents as well.<br/><br/>Through her raw, lyrical words, Hartke invites fellow sojourners to discover that in life's hardest places, they are not alone in their fear, they are not foolish to hope, and they are never forgotten by a loving, pursuing God. Never.<p/><br></br><p><b> From the Back Cover </b></p></br></br><b>Even life's most desolate experiences can bring beautiful surprises<br/></b><br/>There comes a time in life when we find ourselves in the desert place of burning questions: <i>Why?</i> and <i>Why me? </i>But even as we shake our fist heavenward, the heart whispers another question: <i>Who?

When not out on the desert trails avoiding rattlesnakes, Lynne is blogging, speaking and volunteering with several cancer organizations, and keeping up with their four grown children and three grandchildren. Lynne is currently training to hike from the South Rim of the Grand Canyon to the North Rim (a distance of 23 miles) in one day--because cancer taught her to grab onto life with both hands.
