Book Cover & Preview Text
Michael was home to me. We could be traveling, several thousand miles away from our house, but when my hand would fall into his, I was instantly home. When our gaze would lock across a room, I was home. When he would flash me a smile, or when I would hear his laugh, even if it was just over the phone, I was home. Now he is gone. And its very, very hard to accept the fact that I can never go home again.

About the Book
What do you do when the impossible happens, reality frays, and your entire world falls apart? That’s what happens to author Dawn Anderson when she loses her husband in a tragic farming accident, and the darkness of grief threatens her very identity.
In The Darkness and the Stars, Anderson provides a verbal snapshot of her life before losing her husband, Mike; followed by the story of the tragedy that took him away; and then explores the dark days that follow the accident as she navigates the dim tunnel of grief, but eventually finds some light on the other side.
In this memoir, Anderson shares her experience with others walking the path of grief. She communicates the message that no one can take your grief away, but there can be real comfort in knowing you aren’t alone.
