What do my endorsers say about Gone in an Instant?
★★★★★
“Gone in an Instant: Losing My Son, Loving His Killer is a memoir of faith. Choices that teenager Luke made were not the best and led to his murder. Yet, Tammy reacted with love for her son’s killer. I lost two boys and was angry for many years at God for the horrors my four and five-year-old sons endured. I know my boys are in heaven and I wait for the day when I can see them again. I need to practice more of what Tammy has done as she has motivated me to try meditation with God. Thank you.”
Mary L. Schmidt, aka S. Jackson, author, When Angels Fly and Her Heart
“Gone in an Instant is a book any mother can connect with. The author’s kind heart is apparent. It was so very touching. We’ve all been prodigals in our own way, yet God forgives us. Tammy is an example of showing God’s grace in one of the hardest situations imaginable.”

“Tammy’s story is one of heartbreak, forgiveness, and hope from the moment she first heard of the tragic murder of her son. Gone in an Instant is about a mother’s love and, more importantly, her faith in the Lord that gives her the strength and courage to carry on. I personally witnessed her incredible love, mercy, and grace. The source for these attributes comes from her Heavenly Father. The truth that permeates Tammy’s book and life is that with God in your life, you can face anything life throws at you. A must read.”

“Tammy has faced every mother’s worst nightmare with the loss of her only son to a violent act. In Gone in an Instant, she bravely shares her story and you will benefit by reading it.”

What is this book about?
In 2017 my son was murdered and in the days and months that followed, I had to face the horror of losing my son and forgiving his killer. Gone in an Instant is that story and I believe it will give hope to anyone who needs to forgive that person in their life who’s impossible to forgive. You’ll also find the self-help you need and the grief steps after child loss.
