Blessed Are Those Who Mourn (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781967681051)

The second book in literature's newest fiction series based on The Beatitudes, Blessed Are Those Who Mourn suggests that suffering may just be the path to finding our true selves.

Time passes differently in Graypourt. Weighed down by loss, abandonment and guilt, Cate Elliott does her best to settle into her new reality, but nothing is normal. She desperately misses her son, aches for the support of her family and lives under the dark cloud of an uncertain future.

As her second year in Graypourt begins, a desperate need to ease her suffering drives her into the arms of a treasured and trusted friend. Cate ventures down a path she never expected, but finds the protection, solace and companionship she believes she desperately needs.

When things begin to unravel yet again, an unexpected encounter gives Cate a new sense of purpose and mission. The lessons learned might just deliver her from the sadness and despair she has been forced to carry. For the greatest consolers are those who have suffered the most.

And the lesson comes just in time, as one new arrival to Graypourt is about to change everything.

Ashlie Hand's debut series, "Blessed" explores the promise of The Beatitudes told through the stories of the people we meet between life and our final heavenly home.
