A heartwarming story of faith, family, and second chances.
Sixty-eight-year-old Ellie Cunningham never imagined she'd be raising children again—especially not the three young kids of her adult son Gabe, a struggling single father with PTSD and ADHD. But when life unravels, Ellie opens her rural Arizona home, expecting chaos—and finding unexpected joy.
Then one grandchild’s mother brings accusations, hidden truths, and a custody battle that threatens the fragile family Ellie has worked so hard to guide toward independence.
To keep them together, Ellie must confront the heartbreak of her past, lean into her quiet personal faith, and summon a strength she thought was long gone. What begins as a temporary refuge becomes a test of resilience, love, and the legacy she hopes to leave behind.
Before I’m Gone is a powerful inspirational women’s fiction novel about letting go, holding on, and finding grace in life’s most unexpected chapters.
