In the intervening years — through mourning her husband and the joy of remarriage and a blended family-Kate has absorbed the rewards and complications of that spirit. But when her eldest son joins the Marines, Kate is at a crossroads: Can she reconcile her desire to protect her children with her family’s legacy of service? Can parents balance the joy of a child’s independence with the fear of letting go?
As Kate examines the twinned emotions of faith and fear — inspired by the families she meets as a chaplain and by her son’s journey towards purpose and familyhood — she learns that the threats we can’t predict will rip us apart and knit us together.

Praise for Here If You Need Me

"A must-read for any parent who has tried to answer a child's hard questions or for anyone who has struggled to find meaning. Best of all, this remarkable true story is told with uncommon candor, grace and humor... This is one search-and-rescue you won't want to miss."Martha White, Christian Science Monitor
