Words have power...to help, to hurt, to heal, to bring hope. Imagine the impact when words come from your soulmate, infused with undying love, from beyond this world!

That's the reality Noreen embraces when her husband of fifty years, long since deceased, returns with urgent warnings, proclamations of love and advice to assist her through her own impending death experience. He brings miraculous gifts: directions for unbridled forgiveness and one inspired present for her last Christmas on Earth. Will she believe in him, trust him, recognize his wisdom even though it will take her beyond what she thought she knew about the afterlife, but didn't?

This book is not a work of fiction. The Words of Our Father is a poignant, emotional love story that chronicles the lives of one family through the generations as they hold fast to each other and God through the tumultuous burdens of their world. Their lives are filled with strife, pain, infertility, the death of a child, a debilitating accident, the threat of financial ruin, sibling rifts, alcoholism, and horrific acts of nature. Together, Ken and Noreen fight to shield their six children from the ravages of the real world by cocooning them in love, theirs and God's. They find joy in each other and the simple pleasures of life as they create a legacy of love so strong that it transcends the boundaries between life and death.
