2017 ECPA Christian Book Award Finalist (Biography and Memoir category) What happens after the worst happens? Before May 31, 2008, September Vaudreyâs life was beautiful. But on that day, with one phone call from the ER, her whole worldâeverything she knew and believedâwas shaken to the core. Katie, her 19-year-old artist daughter, had been in a car accident and would not survive. How does a family live in the wake of devastating tragedy? When darkness colors every moment, is it possible to find light? Can God still be good, even after goodbye? With the depth of C. S. Lewisâs A Grief Observed and the poignancy of Joan Didionâs The Year of Magical Thinking, Colors of Goodbye offers a moving glimpse into a motherâs heart. Combining literary narrative and raw reflection, September Vaudrey walks through one of lifeâs worst lossesâthe death of a childâand slowly becomes open to watching for the unexpected ways God carries her through it. Itâs a story of love and tragedy in tandem; a deeply personal memoir from a life forever changed by one empty place. And at its core, Colors of Goodbye calls to the deepest part of our spirits to know that death is not the end . . . and that life can be beautiful still.
