THE MOMENT MY WORLD STOPPED
One phone call.
One moment.
A life forever divided into before and after.
Austin’s Cabin: Clinging to Hope is a deeply honest, faith-centered journey through grief, written for anyone walking through devastating loss. When a late-night phone call shattered her world, a mother’s life was split in two. What followed was shock, silence, unexpected tears, and a broken heart learning how to beat again, one moment at a time.
This compassionate grief and loss book explores what happens after loss, when emotions defy logic, questions have no easy answers, and faith is tested in the darkest valleys. With tenderness and truth, Paulette Reed invites readers into a sacred space where pain is acknowledged, doubt is allowed, and God’s grace gently carries the brokenhearted.
Written as a quiet companion for those grieving, Austin’s Cabin offers comfort, validation, and hope for anyone who feels lost, numb, angry, or unsure how to move forward, without rushing healing or minimizing the depth of grief. It welcomes readers of all backgrounds and beliefs.
This is not a book about “moving on.”
It is a book about holding on - to faith, to love, and to hope - one moment at a time.
If you’ve ever sat with grief and whispered prayers into the dark, Austin’s Cabin: Clinging to Hope was written for you.
