Searching for Hope in the Silence - Paperback

by Jenna Stoker Wright (Author)

In Searching for Hope in the Silence, Jenna Stoker Wright gently tells the raw story of the death of her infant daughter at St. Jude Children's Research Hospital at Christmas some forty years ago. The "hope" the nurse assured the family of upon arrival in the late hours of that December night meant to Jenna the hope for their child to be cured, but she found more hope than just physical healing.
Juxtaposed with the memories of her daughter, the second half of this inspirational narrative explores the intricacies of the mother-daughter relationship as Jenna chronicles her post-WWII nurse mother living in the American South with its cultural and religious challenges of that time and raising a child. The timeless issues of conflict, humor, and forgiveness permeate the second half of this book of hope.
