What happens when you feel like you've done everything right but things go completely wrong? Kris Darrah and her husband Mike did all they could to raise their four kids in a loving Christian home. But when the grip of mental illness and addiction overtook their oldest daughter Lexi, Kris soon realized that life doesn't always go the way we hope and plan. God uses difficulties to shape and grow His followers, and it is in the midst of the darkest times that we are able to experience His incredible love and grace in ways we never would have otherwise. Through telling Lexi's story, Kris offers the kind of soul-baring memoir that can only come from a place of deep pain...and deeper healing. Her story is a testament to the fact that hope can be restored when we lean on our loving and sovereign Savior. Born and raised in Kansas, Kris Darrah is a wife, mother, and educator who is passionate about helping people whose lives have been affected by addiction. She leads support groups and retreats for families who have loved ones struggling with substance use or have lost someone through its impact. She writes about life and faith in her blog, TreasuresinTrials.com.
