Facing Fear, Finding Hope by Candice McCain [Book Review]

First, I would like to say a huge thank you to Candice for sending me a signed paperback of her debut memoir: FACING FEAR FINDING HOPE: Inspirational Vignettes of Courage and Resilience. This is a short memoir of about 80 pages and deals with some important lessons that Candice learned through periods of trial and grief in her life. I wasn’t sure what to expect when I picked up this book, but I went in with an open mind and I’m glad I did. I really enjoyed reading about Candice’s life and her resilience through some really scary life events like cancer, the death of a parent, and coming to terms with being an alcoholic. I found this book touching and inspirational and I really believe that it found me at just the right time in my life. It gave me a real sense of peace and I found it uplifting. I think both of those feelings are things we all need a little more of right now. It was refreshing to read a memoir that raised me up rather than making me feel down, even though it deals with heavy topics.

A poignant memoir that chronicles Candice McCain’s courageous battle, her profound experiences of loss and grief, and the remarkable journey she took towards self-discovery and healing. Through the highs and lows of her trials and tribulations, Candice offers heartfelt reflections on the power of love, the enduring presence of departed loved ones, and the resilience of the human spirit. With candid honesty and touching vulnerability, she invites readers to accompany her on a transformative voyage where hope, faith, and the bonds of love triumph over adversity. From navigating medical challenges to finding solace in spiritual encounters, Candice’s story is a testament to the strength of the human heart and the transcendent power of love to illuminate even the darkest of paths. Facing Fear Finding Hope, is a compelling narrative that inspires readers to embrace life’s challenges with courage, grace, and an unwavering belief in the enduring power of love.

This book also marks #50 in my Summer Reading Challenge. If you don’t know, I set a goal to read 100 books with my family this summer. Obviously, I didn’t read this one out loud to my toddlers but every book we read, either together or alone, counts toward our goal.
