You Don’t Have to Walk This Alone
Your preorder bonuses for Held in the Dark
Thank you. You bought a book about a hard season before you knew how it ended, and that tells me something about where you are.
These four bonuses are yours. They’re meant to be used, not just downloaded.
Two Voices, One Night
Heather and I each recorded the same moment from the book — mine from where I stood as her mother, hers from inside it. We didn’t hear each other’s recordings until they were finished. Listening to them back to back is the closest thing I can give you to understanding what your child may not have words for yet.
Two audio recordings, about 2.5 minutes each.
Jennifer’s Recording
Heather’s Recording
A Private Community
A Facebook group for readers of Held in the Dark — parents, caregivers, and anyone walking a road like this one. It’s a place to say the thing you can’t say at church or at the dinner table. I’m in there. Heather stops in too.
The group is private, so click below to request to join. I approve requests personally, usually within a day. Your name won’t appear publicly, and nothing you post there shows up in your friends’ feeds.
Printable Art for the Hard Days
Five pieces in one PDF — print what you need, when you need it. Put them where you’ll see them: the bathroom mirror, the inside of a cabinet door, the dashboard. Truth you can borrow on the days you can’t find your own.
Conversation Starters
The questions I wish someone had handed me. Gentle openings for when you need to talk to your child and don’t know how to begin, plus a few for talking with your spouse, a friend, or God about what you’re carrying.
Everything above is yours to download and keep. If you only have a few minutes today, start with the recordings.
