Plot

All around us, people are in pain. Emotional, physical, relational, spiritual--whatever its source, the pain feels the same. David Biebel, whose son died of a rare genetic disorder, is intimately familiar with how much life can hurt. He skips the platitudes and well-meaning advice and instead offers the unvarnished truth. He writes, "Pain has two faces, human and divine. The human face is haggard, drawn, contorted and streaked with tears. The divine is calm, assuring, kind, and loving--but likewise streaked with tears."--Publisher's description
