Autorenporträt
Sally Wilke's father died too young, his body destroyed by diabetes and kidney failure. Years later, her husband's liver transplant and eventual death deepened her knowledge and feelings about living with illness and pain. Now a Lutheran pastor, Wilke uses her own and others' stories to offer hope and assurance of God's presence on a journey with chronic illness.
