Kiss Goodbye: The Story of God’s Presence in the Dark Night, by Deb Watson, takes you into the intimate recesses of a family faced with an unspeakable tragedy. Following the sudden death of her nineteen-year-old daughter, author Watson entered her own dark night, and emerged on the other side touched by the steadfastness of God’s grace. This inspirational text shows the realities of the raw emotion that accompanies the loss of a child, but transcends misfortune by offering hope to other families facing similar calamities. Watson’s focus is not the pain of loss or the darkness that can envelope a family, but rather her message centers on how God can reach down and lift an entire family from the ashes, touching everyone with His miraculous healing. Written with the pathos of one who has lived through extraordinary events, Kiss Goodbye will make you laugh, cry, and ponder what really matters in your own life.
