When Edna Thrush's husband suddenly divorced her, she was without education or employment, and homeless with three children to care for. In her struggle to make ends meet, to cope with the lost love, homelessness, and the need for an education, she found faith in God and an outlet in her poems. After gaining an education, she taught for fifteen years until she was diagnosed with cancer. Her final two years were spend in a nursing home. Even there, she found release in writing poetry. Her final poem, written just a month before she died, expressed that through all the years of struggle and illness, she found God's grace to be sufficient, enabling her to thrive in spite of the difficulties and pain.
This volume includes poems written by Edna's daughter and by her mother.
