Suitcases from Heaven

Suitcases from Heaven: A Mother’s Journey through Her Daughter-in-law’s Cancer is the heart- wrenching story of a daughter-in-law fighting a rare, terminal cancer with a mountain of miracle-moving faith, and a mother-in-law depleted of miracle-believing faith who wants nothing to do with such miracle nonsense. Day by day, as Cindy Seaton Henson cares for her dying daughter-in-law, God invites her onto Jazmin’s hope-train legacy. This memoir is intended to encourage caregivers to lean into restored faith so they can better care for their loved ones.
