When the Light Finds Us is a testament to the indomitable human spirit and the power of a mother's love. Judy Henderson was a single mother with a successful small business of her own when she was arrested then convicted of a crime she did not commit. Sentenced to life in prison, Henderson faced the untenable: leaving her three-year-old son and thirteen-year-old daughter as she entered the brutal prison system. Even as she faced violence, mistreatment, and even encounters with live snakes and scorpions, Henderson persevered with hope and determination. She never lost sight of her innocence or her deeply held role as a mother, yet she also gained new purpose, fighting for her clemency and for the rights of incarcerated women, especially mothers. Henderson's unwavering faith transformed her incarceration into a mission of self-improvement and advocacy as she earned her GED and paralegal certificate, worked with nonprofit prison programs that fostered connections between incarcerated mothers and their children, and played a crucial role in passing Missouri's first battered women's bill. Equipped with knowledge and new skills, she became a guiding light for other imprisoned women and mothers, shepherding them through the clemency process. As the years passed, Henderson experienced hope through serendipitous events and calls, letters, and too infrequent visits with her children and other family. With the support of the prosecutor who once sought her conviction and the Missouri governor, Henderson's perseverance was rewarded when she was granted clemency and received a full pardon after nearly thirty-five years behind bars.When the Light Finds Us is a gripping narrative that explores the depths of human resilience and the transformative power of hope. Henderson's story will inspire readers to persevere through their own struggles, reminding us of the strength of the human spirit and the unbreakable bond of a mother's love. In a world often filled with darkness, Judy Henderson's journey is a beacon of light, illuminating the path to redemption and the triumph of justice.

"After years on the road performing at sold-out venues alongside platinum-selling and Grammy-winning Christian artists, Tyson Motsenbocker returned home to the impending death of his 57-year-old hero and mother. He begged God to heal her, but she died anyway. When they buried her body, Tyson also buried the childhood version of his faith. Weeks before her death, however, Motsenbocker discovered the story of 18th-century Spanish monk St. Junipero Serra who dedicated his life to the idea that tragedy and suffering are portals to renewal. He discovered Serra's "El Camino Real," a 600-mile pilgrimage route down the California coast that had been largely forgotten for more than 200 years. In desperation, Motsenbocker sets out to retrace the Saint's steps along the freeways and underpasses, littered beaches and multi-million-dollar coastal estates. During the next 40 days, Motsenbocker sinks below the comfortable surface of society he has always known, enduring excruciating pain, dodging addicts and roaring traffic, stepping over rats, and befriending retired veterans. His pilgrimage up the Western shore of America connects him to a lost mystic who often seems to hover just above as he grieves the loss of his mother and the insolubility of the kind of God he once comfortably trusted. Where the Waves Turn Back is a literary journey for the wanderer, doubter, adventurer, skeptic, mystic and seeker in all of us. Worn-out and weary travelers of all ages will be invited, along with Motsenbocker, to renegotiate their place in a world that's irrevocably changed. Readers will be captivated by the depth of Motsenbocker's honesty and vulnerability, enchanted by his lyrical prose, and inspired by his hard-fought healing. But more than this, they will discover portals to their own spiritual wonderings-the kinds that require leaving behind the worlds we once loved and loving the worlds in which we live"--
"In order to break a world record, a fierce knitting competition spans the globe but a message of cooperation knits the world together"--
