I didn’t expect to love or need this book, but I did both.
My copy is dog-eared!
I read the entire book in one sitting…
This book is a treasure.
Trust me, you will cry…
A must read book!
From the Author
My own true story of loss and disappointment inspired me to write this book and share my message of hope and healing

I am first time author Gail Norwood and pleased to present my new book entitled, “Escape from Grief Prison – A Story of Love, Loss and Healing”. This book is my story and I wrote it for you.
Read about my life as a former flight attendant, wife and mother and how I met with devastating personal loss at age sixty-four. It was just life happening – but the kind of life happening we wish would just pass us by. Opening with a tender love story, the text evolves into a gripping account of how quickly life can turn. Uplifting chapters provide a practical guide on how to survive and bring the book to a triumphant finish.
Yes, I did my time in Grief Prison but I escaped and learned to embrace life and joy once again. The treasure trove of truths I discovered in those few years are detailed within these pages. The truths were keys that released me to find an open path toward healing. Make them yours, and feel the freedom!

Excerpt
Somewhere between the vastness of yesterday and each elusive tomorrow, we find ourselves wobbling on the tightrope of today. How we struggle to keep our balance! We glance down for a safety net below and discover our brothers and sisters waiting with open arms to catch us if we fall. And we recognize the Almighty within them who calls our name. Each careful step forward brings us closer to a new beginning. And each lesson learned along the way strengthens us to move ahead, as we keep our eyes peeled to the future, and never look back.
In the prison of your soul
Fear and grief may take control.
Oppressive as they both may be
Allow the truth to set you free.
