At 48, Cynthia Waine Brandt seemed to have it all. But on a foggy night in Juneau, Alaska, that world shattered when her 54-year-old husband died unexpectedly, 4,000 miles away in Atlanta, Georgia.

Though she feared his death would destroy her, when she flew out of Juneau and into a life without Harry, she actually embarked on a journey of healing and self-discovery that no lines on a map could ever define.

Through vivid storytelling, Cynthia shares her transformational journey—revealing how the cardinal became a symbol of hope and an ever-present guide on her path forward.

If you are walking through loss—or simply longing for more—this award-winning memoir offers comfort, inspiration, and a gentle reminder that you can always begin again.
