Within six months, an aggressive cancer killed Lisa Ham, a Raleigh, North Carolina mom at the young age of

39. Her husband, Bruce, was left scrambling to pick up the pieces of their life, while maneuvering the world with

a broken heart. The responsibilities of being a single father to his three active daughters were overwhelming.

Bruce wrestled with his faith and questioned his ability to parent competently without Lisa by his side. But

slowly, his wife’s tough spirit inspired Bruce to shape his new normal and to find inner peace and laughter again.

Along his personal journey, he became his girls’ confidante, while mastering hair dryers, shopping trips, tights

and braids.

A journal is the best way to release pain and admit to reality especially when your beloved ones are too young to discuss such matters with. Ham shares his journey with the world.Laughter, Tears and Braids is heart touching, inspirational and sometimes hard to read without getting teary eyed. I give the author my respect for writing this book for many reasons:Letting the people in the world who lost someone know that they are not aloneLetting single parents know that life will prevail and they will be great in parentingThe fact that this book is written for his children when they are older.Amazing novel.
