To Live Again by Lauralee Bliss

To Live Again by Lauralee Bliss begins with Janice and Len Dawson and their two children living a wonderful life. The only flaw is a strained relationship between Len and his brother Paul, but Paul's wife Katy and Janice are close friends.

Then disaster strikes - Len is diagnosed with cancer. Not only does Janice have to deal with her continued responsibilities of homeschooling their daughters and trying to keep their lives normal, but she is faced with Len's physical deterioration and his anger over his illness. When Len dies, Janice takes on the burden of supporting the family financially and emotionally.

However, she felt God had turned her back on her, so she turns her back on God. But living without faith just doesn't seem to work.

Unbelievably, a year later, tragedy befalls again. Katy is stricken with cancer and dies after only a few weeks. Paul is devastated, and Janice realizes she has to help him and his children. In the end, they find both faith and love.

To Live Again is a very touching story - with moments of great sadness and moments of great joy intermingled with a love story tied together with a lesson in faith.
