The Storms As They Roll In (Paperback or Softback)

The Storms As They Roll In is a posthumous collection of essays, reflections, and prayers written by Maureen Rose Morley after she was diagnosed with Stage 4 breast cancer in her mid-thirties. But this is not a book about dying. It is a book about living fully, with deep love, unwavering faith, and courageous vulnerability in the face of the unknown.
Maureen wrote through everything—chemo, hospital stays, quiet mornings, moments of both pain and joy. Her writing is raw and real, sometimes devastating, often funny, and always rooted in the deep love she had for her husband, her family, her friends, her church, and Jesus. Her words have the intimacy of a journal, the grace of a prayer, and the sharp, clear insight of someone who knew her time was limited and chose to spend it reflecting, connecting, and giving.

Readers have said:
“Reading The Storms As They Roll In felt like an old friend just looped her arm through mine and suggested we go for a walk. She talked about her Christian faith openly and honestly. She admitted that having faith didn't eliminate her anxiety, but gave her the comfort and guidance to find her way to commit to a life partner and bravely face an early death from cancer.”

“This book touched me deeply. Maureen shares her journey with breast cancer at a young age in such an honest, raw, and funny way. It truly feels like reading her final love letters to life.”

"Maureen's honest and beautiful wording help bring understanding to the mingling of grief and joy that those who suffer cancer carry."
Maureen’s words are a quiet companion through the storm—wise, generous, and deeply human. Her story is personal, but the questions she wrestles with are universal: How do we make sense of suffering? Where do we find hope? What legacy do we leave behind? The Storms As They Roll In doesn’t offer easy answers. But it does offer something better: presence, honesty, light, and the steady assurance that we are not alone. God gave her everything she dreamed of—then called her home.
