A Mother's Journey of Faith After Sandy Hook
As the mother of Emilie Parker, one of the twenty children who died at Sandy Hook Elementary School in Newtown, Connecticut, in 2012, Alissa Parker experienced every parent's worst nightmare. An Unseen Angel chronicles her complete journey through grief, faith, and the transcendent power of a mother's love that extends beyond physical loss.A Moment-by-Moment Account of Tragedy and Healing
This deeply personal narrative begins with the devastating moment Alissa heard, "There's been a shooting at your child's school," and follows her faith-filled spiritual path to coping, healing, and ultimately finding gratitude for the life and love of her daughter Emilie. Through her Christian faith, Alissa confronts gut-wrenching questions that arise after unimaginable tragedy:- "Where is Emilie now?"
- "Can love transcend the physical body?"
- "How can I know that Emilie is in a better place?"
- "How do I deal with the 'here and now' when the pain and anger I feel is so overwhelming?"
The First Faith-Focused Book on School Tragedy
Unlike other accounts of school shootings, An Unseen Angel focuses specifically on faith and spirituality as tools for survival and healing. Alissa describes a bond between mother and daughter so profound it transcends the physical body, touching everyone who loved Emilie and feels her presence daily.From Grief to Advocacy
As co-founder of SafeandSoundSchools.org, a touring national advocacy group, Alissa has spoken to hundreds of parents across the country about her ordeal and how she endured the unspeakable horror of Sandy Hook. Through TheParkerFive blog and The Emilie Parker Art Connection charity, she continues to honor her daughter's memory while helping others. Readers are introduced to a special little girl who was wise beyond her years, whose lessons about life and the transcendent power of love continued even after she passed away. This is a story of faith, forgiveness, and finding purpose after loss.Languages:EnglishPublisher:Shadow MountainISBN-13:9781629722795ISBN-10:1629722790UPC:9781629722795Book Category:Religion, Family & Relationships, Self-HelpBook Subcategory:Christian Living, Death, Grief, BereavementBook Topic:Death, Grief, BereavementSize:7.90 x 5.40 x 0.40 inchesWeight:0.5512Product ID:SCXR074BDH
