REPAIRING RAINBOWS
by LYNDA FISHMAN
SYNOPSIS:
At thirteen years old, Lynda's life comes to a disastrous halt when her mother and two younger sisters are killed in a plane crash. Her father, overcome by despair, simply continues to exist, in a state devoid of hope. After burying a wife and two young children at the age of 44, the overwhelming responsibility of raising a daughter alone completely immobilizes him.
Teetering on that tender brink between childhood and adolescence, Lynda faces the responsibility of a father in a complete state of shock, a house to take care of and hundreds of decisions about how to proceed with their shattered lives.In Repairing Rainbows she candidly describes the agonizing memories, deafening silence and endless hardships that are the fallout of incredible loss. As we follow her through marriage, motherhood and her own spiritual journey, Lynda reveals her complex feelings of hope, anger, pity and determination. Most importantly, she learns the crucial difference between "truly living" and the existence that is so often mistaken for being alive.
A true story, written by a woman whose normal and abundant life hides a terrible past, Repairing Rainbows is loaded with important lessons to help others overcome struggles and obstacles, and fulfill their lives. It is a powerful, captivating, riveting and easy-to-read story that will undoubtedly touch the hearts of its readers.

I would like to read the book, because my father died when I was 4 years old, and my mother was left to finish raising 8 children ages 4-17. However, she managed and I wonder if they faced any of the same problems we did. Which in my young eyes were few.

In the synopsis of the book I am drawn to the idea of a young woman overcoming severe trauma to pick up the pieces and continue on with her life. I too have had a difficult year and am striving to do the same as this character; to remain strong and continue forward. I would like to read this book, thanks!
