When tragedy strikes, family becomes both the anchor and the storm.
In Candlelight and Sycamores, Betty Glaz shares a heartfelt memoir of love, loss, faith, and the unbreakable bonds that sustain a family through life's greatest trials. What begins with a devastating tractor accident that leaves her father fighting for his life soon becomes a powerful journey through hospital waiting rooms, difficult medical decisions, unexpected moments of grace, and the emotional realities of caring for aging parents.
With honesty, warmth, and remarkable storytelling, Glaz weaves together memories of her Indiana childhood, family traditions, sibling relationships, personal struggles, and the quiet strength that emerges in times of crisis. Through moments of heartbreak, humor, and hope, she reflects on the enduring values of faith, resilience, forgiveness, and unconditional love.
Rich with vivid recollections and deeply human experiences, Candlelight and Sycamores is more than a memoir, it is a tribute to family, the sacrifices made for those we love, and the memories that continue to illuminate our lives long after difficult seasons have passed.
Perfect for readers who enjoy inspirational memoirs, family sagas, and true stories of courage, this unforgettable journey reminds us that even in life's darkest moments, love continues to shine like candlelight through the sycamores.
