Here If You Need Me

Title: Here If You Need Me
Author: Kate Braestrup
Publisher: Little, Brown
ISBN: 9780316066310

From the publisher:
When the oldest of Kate Braestrup's four children was ten years old, her husband, a Maine state trooper, was killed in a car accident. Stunned and grieving, she decided to pursue her husband's dream of becoming a Unitarian minister, and eventually began working with the Maine Game Warden Service, which conducts the state's search and rescue operations when people go missing in the wilderness.

Louisa says: The range and depth of this book surprised me. Braestrup writes with sincerity, humour, honesty and quiet compassion, not shying away from areas often ignored such as the practicalities of death. Her anecdotes illuminate some of the challenges faced by Maine state troopers and the sensitivity, strength and courage needed for chaplaincy.
