A family must overcome tragedy to reclaim goodness and peace in their lives. Reviewers and readers have called this a "hauntingly beautiful" novel, "hard to put down," "a page-turner and an artistic triumph," "a masterpiece of compassion." Written by a masterful storyteller, this is a book that illuminates the journey we make through loss to healing.
In the midst of a nearly perfect life, Doris Senter is thankful but wary. "We can't ever know what will come," she says. When an unimaginable tragedy turns the family of five into a family of four, everything the Senters held faith in is shattered. The family is consumed by sorrow and guilt. Slowly, the surviving family members find their way to forgiveness--of themselves and of each other.
Few writers know the human heart and the burden of grief as New York Times bestselling author Meredith Hall ( Without a Map). This is a radiant novel of goodness and love--both its gifts and its obligations--that will stay with readers long after the last page. With a rare tenderness and compassion, Beneficence shows broken hearts becoming whole as this family reclaims their love and peace.
