The Passages to Peace

0/5 ( ratings)

Finding inner peace in a world filled with chaos and fear has never been easy. It has become even harder in the 24 hour a day, noisy world of negative news. This story will show readers how to do it. It is the life story of Cassie Morris, a troubled teenager who is the sole survivor of an automobile accident and she views her survival as a punishment versus a gift. When Dr. Marie Carey gives her a book written by a young woman fighting terminal cancer, Cassie begins to see life through a different lens and finds inner peace for the first time. The story follows her through college friendships, marriage and motherhood. Then, when three separate tragedies darken the outer world in a way she never imagined, the inner peace she worked so hard to build, is darkened as well. First, a bomb explodes in front of a federal building in Oklahoma City, killing hundreds of people, including children. As a new mother, Cassie is drawn into the tragedy in ways she cannot fully understand. Four years later, the tragic loss of life in a Colorado high school called Columbine, places a tighter hold on her. As she develops a plan to prevent similar tragedies by changing how children are taught the value of life, it becomes an obsession as Cassie uncovers the reason her life was spared so many years earlier. Unfortunately, she never imagined that a plan for peace would land her right into the middle of deadliest terror attack on U.S. soil.
