Lineage of Grief
The Lineage of Grief is the first book of the series designed to walk readers through various stories derived from various perspectives of grief.Grief resides in every living being with a heartbeat and soul. Grief is a universal language spoken by all regardless of race, creed or color. It is inevitable to live and not know grief in an intimate way. Perhaps it was God's design to balance egos and evil tendencies. Perhaps it is a painful reminder that life, death, and circumstances beyond human control must always yield to a power beyond itself. Perhaps, it is accepting that we own nothing truly, however, we get an opportunity to experience people, places and things. Not one thing belongs to us, even our own lives.
