Publisher's summary

In What She Left for Me, a preacher's wife must lean on her battered family for healing.

Jana McGuire is devastated when she returns from an African mission trip only to find her pastor husband has taken all their money and left with his secretary. Left with no worldly possessions, Jana is forced to seek help from her distant mother and her bubbly, welcoming great-aunt Taffy. Jana soon realizes that her mother's cold demeanor hides a tragic past - and that the two must mend their relationships with God and each other.

An award-winning, best-selling author of over 60 books, Tracie Peterson skillfully explores the deepest tests of faith and forgiveness.

A wonderful story of forgiveness and restoration!

The book was captivating! I appreciated the way the author touched on tough subjects so carefully but still made her point. But the best part was how she wrapped it all up and brought it all back to Jesus!

The courage it took for each woman to face the pain of their past and seek

The storyteller did a great job of speaking each character’s voice distinctly.
I loved reading about 3 generations of brave women facing their past hurts and helping each other seek understanding, forgiveness and healing.

Great story

Great story telling of multi generational family. Depth of character and their ability to navigate their challenges. Cusp of holding on so tightly to wrongs or letting go. Great story telling and narration. Christian perspective of love and forgiveness. Must listen.

The important of forgiving

I liked the frankness of the story, forgiveness is there if we are willing to accept and if we are willing to forgive.
