Michael Reed
Author, Speaker
On November 28, 2016, tragedy struck East Tennessee when a massive wildfire left the confines of The Great Smoky National Park and engulfed the city of Gatlinburg. Within minutes, 2,500 structures were destroyed and 14 lives were lost. Of the souls lost that night, Michael Reed tragically lost his wife, Constance, and both of his daughters, Chloe and Lily. This powerful book is his journey through the stages of grief. Wearing his heart on his sleeve, he beautifully blends his pain with words of encouragement, guidance, and support to help people who have also experienced trauma or loss in their lives.
