Message of Grace: A Story of Loss and Renewal

Nothing on earth could destroy the love that bonded Steve and Cindy together - not cancer, not even death - could break the bond. Steve and Cindy Fischer were the kind of couple who seemed destined to be together. After all, a chance meeting at a college party would have ended as soon as it had begun for most people.

But they were not most people. They soon married, had two daughters, fulfilling jobs, and great friends. And then, at the age of just 36, Cindy was diagnosed with breast cancer. Cindy decided this was not a death sentence, however, and decided to fight it. The battle was won - for a time. When the cancer came back, it was more aggressive than ever - but so was Cindy's determination. A modified diet and changes to her lifestyle, along with medical treatments, kept Cindy in the classroom, teaching her elementary school students. Eventually, the cancer pushed toward its inevitable conclusion. But the story does not end, there. Without Cindy living by his side, Steve still had to raise their two daughters and move on with his own life. Could he go on without her? Or would she always be by his side? Did the events in the lives of Steve and his daughters have meaning? And then, fourteen years after Cindy's journey to heaven, Steve realized the innocent presence of his granddaughter, Grace, was an undeniable gift from God.

Could Grace be the message and the divine help he needed to renew his life? A touching and powerful tale, Message of Grace: A Story of Loss and Renewal, holds nothing back as it describes a life cut short - and the others which have to continue on. And, above all, the Fischers' story proves that even death cannot end a love story.
