About the Author:
Connie Jackson, author of Nothing Can Separate Us, resides in western New York, where she serves as growth director and assistant to the pastor at Bath Centenary United Methodist Church. Between lively visits from her three surviving children and seven grandchildren, she spends her summers tending to her memorial garden and her winters reading and journaling by the wood stove. Family events still tend to be overshadowed by the absence of Karen, Jon, and David, her three children stricken by Batten disease. "They are still very much a part of each of us," she notes. Nothing Can Separate Us, an autobiographical account of this mother's spiritual and emotional struggle with grieving the loss of her children, is Jackson's first book.
From Publishers Weekly:
In August, new Christian publisher Green Key Books will launch its first list, which includes the heartbreaking story of a mother's grief at losing three of her six children to a rare genetic disease. In Nothing Can Separate Us, Connie Jackson tells her family's story, beginning with the first signs that her six-year-old daughter Karen had something wrong with her eyes. Jackson is honest about depression and despair, about trying to strike bargains with God and about the overwhelming grief she felt at slowly losing her children to blindness, brain damage, seizures and ultimate death. But throughout, her deep faith offers hope in the face of tragedy.
