"This is a story of how Catholic faith accompanied my family through the sickness and death of my elderly parents. What could mistakenly be seen as a downward spiral was actually upward. As my parents were called home to God those around them caught a glimpse of heaven. Ministering to them during this time was challenging, yet a blessing, not a burden... I discovered my source of strength was my Irish Catholic upbringing, the sacraments, and my God. Our family motto, 'Keep at It, Riley!' sums it up well. We don't give up; we give it to God."

This is the second book of the Magenta series, edited by Charles Camosy. The Magenta project brings together authors who will treat important topics from the standpoint of Christian conviction without being trapped in a polarized mindset.
