Synopsis
Ten years ago, Kate Braestrup, her husband, Drew, and their four young children were enjoying a morning like any other. Then Drew, a Maine state trooper, left for work and everything changed. On the very roads that he patrolled each day, an oncoming driver lost control, and Kate lost her husband. "Stunned and grieving, Kate decided to pursue what had been her husband's dream and became a minister. And soon she found a most unusual calling: serving as chaplain for search-and-rescue missions in the Maine woods, giving comfort to people whose loved ones are missing - and to the wardens who sometimes have to deal with dreadful outcomes. Whether with parents whose six-year-old daughter has vanished into the woods, with wardens as they search for a snowmobiler trapped under the ice, or with a man whose sister left an infant seat and a suicide note in her car by the side of the road, Braestrup provides solace, understanding, and spiritual guidance when they're needed most. Here If You Need Me recounts Kate Braestrup's journey from grief to faith to happiness.

From AudioFile
This true story, which begins with a death, will make you laugh as well as cry and will certainly leave you uplifted. Briefly, when Braestrups husband, Drew, a Maine State Trooper, is killed in a car accident, Braestrup decides to pursue her husbands dream of becoming a Maine Warden Service chaplin. The subsequent story interweaves anecdotes of her Warden Service ministry with reflections on how she and her four young children coped and ultimately triumphed. Braestrup reads in an unexpectedly childlike voice. Her phrasing and pacing are perfect, though, so one soon forgets the almost saccharine voice and concentrates on the beautiful writing and funny, moving story.
