In The Fall to the Climb, Chrissy continues to chronicle her journey through a valley of loss and grief in 2010 before beginning the climb to a higher hope-filled perspective in 2011.

If you've lost a child or experienced loss of any kind, reading Chrissy's CaringBridge posts feels like finding a friend who understands. You'll see how she processed her grief and healed incrementally over the course of that first year. She includes intimate letters to her daughter, Lilian Grace, and shares Scripture, songs, and soul food that encouraged her and equipped her to climb beyond her loss. The Fall to the Climb is book two in the series Journals from a Warrior's Mother about a family's faith journey through extraordinary circumstances.
