Awakened by Grace
Ebook
After the tragic death of his wife, Katie, Professor Franklin Franklyn blames himself. Filled with anguish, he walks away from his family and removes himself from all social interactions, which augments his suffering. But soon after the second anniversary of his wife's death, his self-imposed reclusive lifestyle is interrupted by an unplanned visit from his eight-year-old granddaughter, Maggie. From that point on, Maggie's faith-filled answered prayers manifest before Franklin's eyes. As the two experience God-led divine appointments, Maggie encourages new people to become part of Franklin's life. In spite of all Franklin witnesses, he finds it difficult to let go of his guilt and move on without his wife.
“Awakened by Grace is a touching story of a man whose
wife was killed. . . . His granddaughter, Maggie, opens the heart
of her grandfather and teaches him to look outward instead of
inward. . . . It is a wonderful story of overcoming
adversity.”
—Susan Osborn, author of over thirty books
“You will love Awakened by Grace and never want it to end.
If you’re looking for a book that portrays love, hope, forgiveness,
and redemption, this is it. You can’t help but root for Maggie. Her
faith is unending and her tenacity is infectious. I highly
recommend you grab a cup of coffee and snuggle in for a good read.
It will be hard to put down.”
—Veronica Dixon, Christian, wife, mom, legal assistant
“In my opinion, Darlene West’s book Awakened by
Grace is very well-written and engaging. Through the trials of
the characters in her book, I love how Darlene has used her faith
in the Lord to illustrate how she believes that God can bring light
to situations that are very dark.”
