About
Betsy Kelleher's world shattered after a phone call on Nov. 17, 2008.
"Hi Mom, it's your son Bob," she heard - and she smiled at the way he always began his calls. But her smile quickly faded; Bob was in the hospital. He had just learned he had multiple myeloma - a cancer of the bone marrow - and there was no cure.
For four years and three months, Kelleher found hope in her faith that God could work a miracle. Prayers did not bring healing, and a mother's heart was broken. Three months after Bob's death, she was further devastated by the sudden loss of a precious Boston terrier that had given her special comfort.
Join this grieving mother as she and a newly acquired Boston named Ribbons discover a pathway into a nearby wetlands conservation project. While exploring the developing secluded field, Kelleher finds comfort in a field of yellow flowers and hope in a morning sunrise.
As she struggles to accept God's will in the loss of her son, walking the dog becomes a spiritual pilgrimage. Within that peaceful secluded field just beyond the visible edge of her mobile home community, she experiences God's intimate, healing presence.
