Here if you Need Me: A True Story

HERE IF YOU NEED ME: A TRUE STORY; Kate Braestrup; New York: Little, Brown, 2007;
Non-Fiction; 2007.

When Kate's husband Drew, a Maine state trooper, was killed in a car crash, she took up the life he had wanted for himself. After completing her studies at the Bangor Theological Seminary, she became a chaplain for the Maine Fish and Game Warden Service, her job to comfort the loved ones of those lost in the woods. Interspersed with her stories of love, loss, and fearsome tragedy is her own story of her husband's death, and her own beautifully expressed spiritual belief. As befits her ministerial calling, Kate Braestrup writes like an angel--Here if you Need Me is funny, tender, and enlightening by turns, and all at once. As a Unitarian Universalist minister, she believes in a more amorphous expression of deity than some might hope for, but this book still shines with faith and a good heart.
