Produktbeschreibung
A personal story of hope, grief, and love - comprising daily letters written from a daughter to her father ensuring that, despite sustaining a major brain injury, he would never miss a day. She would account for it all, and tell him his own unbelievable tale. The book begins as Ashley Hertzog Embry tells her Papa Bear" how he narrowly cheated death. With her father still in a coma, she wrote to him when she couldn't talk to him, clinging to the faith that one day he would wake up and read her words. He did awake, and the words kept coming. She wrote to him every day throughout his recovery, encouraging his progress, and keeping tabs on the day-to-day details that his recuperating short-term memory struggled to retain. When Papa's recovery took a sudden downturn, his devoted daughter picked up her pen again, holding out hope for a miracle that never came. With a broken heart surprisingly filled with gratitude, Ashley continued to write through her loss to provide an intimate account of the grieving process one day at a time. Read along as she journeys through seasons of hope, joy, fear, sorrow and, most of all, love.
Autorenporträt
Ashley Hertzog Embry has a poetic soul. Born and raised in Newmanstown, Pennsylvania, she dreamed of becoming an author when she grew up. Always the family documentarian, in first grade she wrote "All About My Family & Me," a short story chronicling the lives of her loved ones. Decades later she released her first book, "Letters To My Papa," a much longer story chronicling the lives of her loved ones. In 2001, she moved to Nashville, Tennessee, to attend Belmont University and pursue her love of lyrics and the melodies that bring them to life. She continues to reside in Music City, working full-time in music publishing. Embry leaves no day unaccounted for by capturing moments in photographs and collecting memories in her personal journals. When she isn't writing or creating handcrafted gifts in her home study, you can find her living the family life with her adoring husband, Mason.
