Sarasota, Florida - Maribeth Ditmars releases, Dancing
in the Minefields: One Woman’s Faith journey through Child-loss, Addiction, and
Adversity.
Experiencing unimaginable loss, Maribeth shares a heart-wrenching and touching story of dealing with the separate deaths of her
two sons,
one to childhood
cancer, and the other in an accident. Her story is one of perseverance and hope
mingled with the
tears and the joyful memories that come with mourning.
Maribeth invites us on an intimate walk as she and her
family question why God would allow such suffering, and how she turned to
alcohol for a while in order to cope. She shares how the power of Jesus spoke
through the lives of her sons, Chris and Jarrod.
Dancing in the
Minefields speaks of faith tried in
the fires of adversity. Told with humor and
passion, the book shares heavenly encounters of the life yet to come— a life far beyond this trivial place we call Earth. Her
testimony inspires and encourages others that even despite overwhelming
circumstances, one is able to live again in Christ.
Maribeth is very open
about her story of recovery from alcoholism, and the addictions of other family
members. She offers valuable insights for her readers. If you or someone you know is suffering from the effects of grief, particularly child-loss, or drowning themselves in
drugs or alcohol, this book is a must-read that shares that there still is hope.
Maribeth loves to say. “Laughter and tears are only a moment apart, but joy is eternal.”
