Starla Lipscomb, in her memoir, The Morning After Mourning, she shares her mental and physical pain during and after her mother's terminal illness and death. At the age of seventeen, the last year of high school, Starla's world was shattered.
You will get a glimpse of what it is like for a teenager to lose a mother. You will feel what it feels like for a "Faith-Walking "teenager's who feels her faith and God has failed her. When her father explained to her that her mother was facing her demise, she said to him, "You don't know the God I know."
A gifted writer, Starla puts you right there with her every moment. You feel her pain, disappointment, grief and the shattering of her faith. But ultimately, you rejoice with her as she triumphs over pain and grief and having her faith in God restored. Starla demonstrates the power of the execution of faith through Biblical Scriptures. She cites the Scripture that brought clarity to her understanding of life and its perplexities.
Her poem, GOOD MORNING, will lift one from the hole of any circumstance.
