The Gift Giver

An accomplished athlete, businesswoman, and mother, author Jennifer Hawkins believes she has everything, until one morning she wakes up to find her husband’s lifeless body lying beside her. Shaken to the core of her being, Jennifer struggles to put her shattered world back together, rebalancing relationships with friends, family, and her own children as she comes to grips with the vacuum left by the loss of her husband.

Jennifer teeters on the brink of despair, until she hears a voice—a voice she never thought she would hear again. It is the voice of her husband, who in six simple words tells her of the tragedy that would have occurred had he stayed. How his leaving saved a life, one whose loss would have had ripple effects that were inconceivable.

Few memoirs deliver such an inspirational message of loss and redemption, of sorrow, mercy, and reawakening. Anyone who has ever lost a loved one will gain life-changing insights from Jennifer’s experience overcoming the pain of loss, realizing the promise of hope, and communicating beyond the edges of time.

Jennifer’s story proves that love never dies. It only becomes more powerful as it bridges the gap between our world and the vast nurturing universe that lies beyond.
