The And by Erin Reichman

What does it mean to be satisfied in all circumstances? Do you strive for control and live in bitterness when you realize it's out of your grasp? How do you respond when tragic events force you to confront your true beliefs about God's sovereignty and goodness? Where do you put your faith and trust during times of uncertainty? Erin Reichman has wrestled with all these questions in her battle with a chronic and terminal, genetic heart disease. After struggling to start a family, facing significant health crises, and being told that pregnancy would kill her, she believes her dream of a family is over. Graciously, God miraculously opens the door to parenthood. Yet despite the incredible blessing and delight of a family, the reality of her mortality lurks in the shadows. The end has seemed imminent, only to have new chapters appear, challenging her purpose and perseverance. She strives to seek contentment and thankfulness in each new day, knowing that even in her disabilities, she is an intricate part of His glorious plan. This is her journey and exploration into the 'why, how, and what's next' of life, and the joy of knowing that God's kingdom has no end, only "The And."
