Reflections

In Reflections, Hilary Goodman opens the doors to her heart and invites readers on a poignant journey of grief and spiritual resilience. Initially conceived as a therapeutic outlet after the loss of her mother, the book reflects the struggle to navigate the shadows that death casts. Even when faced with the subsequent passing of her father, the enduring strength of the author’s faith emerged unscathed, blossoming with newfound depth.
Seamlessly blending personal reflections with universal themes, this book offers solace and encouragement to those looking for hope during life’s darkest moments. Within its pages lie heartfelt poems, prayers, psalms, hymns, thoughts and talks to read, and reflect on.
Reflections reminds readers that they are never alone in their struggles, and that there is always a guiding light to turn to.
