“In a Tlingit tale from long ago, the Raven, a clever trickster, stole the sun from a Chief who had locked the universe away in wooden boxes. The Raven, through cunning transformation, set the sun free, dispelling the darkness that enveloped the world. Sandra’s journey of recreating herself in order to be free reminds me of the Raven. She is a bright shining light to all who are privileged to cross her path. Through her vulnerability, we are safe to look within and heal our own wounds.”

“Matthew’s legacy is a love so powerful that it cannot be silenced. You may not hold it, but it touches you. You cannot answer it, but it speaks. There is no place to see him, but he is everywhere. A love that strong cannot be bound by earthly bonds. It seeps out into the world in the shape of love and kindness. In a blanket of protection that only a son can provide for a mother. It is wrapped around you. I know you feel it. He is always here. I was Spellbound! Sandra Martins-Toner opens a window to a vulnerability that most of us are fortunate to have never known. She allows us to join her in a journey through grief that is deeply emotional and incredibly trying. I know Matthew as I know my own sons, although I never met him. Thank you, Sandra, for sharing him with me. Today, tomorrow, forever. I remember.”

“The death of a child is that unimaginable loss no parent ever expects to face. In Beyond the Crossroads – A Journey from Grief to Grace, Sandra candidly shares her story of how she survived the darkest hours, offering hope and reassurance that the clouds of grief do lessen with time, and that grieving parents will find a way to live, and even laugh again. A Journey from Grief to Grace doesn't flinch from the reality or pain caused by the death of a child. Yet ultimately, it is a book about the choice to embrace life, love, and joy again.”
