Broken Branch
Broken Branch | Erynn Mangum
1 post | 1 read
Jess Callahan is not ok. Two months ago, Jess got a phone call that changed her life forever. Her dad had been in a car accident and her mom was now alone, trying to manage the goat farm Jess grew up on by herself. Going back to New Mexico was never a part of Jess' plan, but here she is - stuck in New Mexico and stuck in her faith. Where was God when the accident happened? If He's truly all powerful and truly loves them, why did God allow her dad to die? How can a loving God be so cruel? Wrestling both with her thoughts and the goats, Jess is faced with a decision: Will the accident wreck her faith as well? And when her childhood friend shows up, will she set aside her stubbornness and accept the help? Jess' story of loss is a delicate weaving of grief, redemption and hope.

I've followed Erynn online for years and knew of her Mom's cancer returning and being called home to heaven. I was excited for a new book but once I saw the theme was centered around grief I just knew it would be authentic and heartfelt. It was just that. With a few funny moments mixed in, this book is a grief journey that reflects so much truth and questioning we find ourselves doing as Christians when we lose loved ones. Well done, Erynn.
