About
What do you do when crisis hits and life falls apart?
When Laura Ruth McCullough was diagnosed with breast cancer, uncertainty and fear threatened to overwhelm her body, mind, and spirit. Held is her reflective memoir-a meditation on faith and suffering, beauty and pain, and the quiet persistence of hope in the aftermath of trauma.
Blending prose, poetry, and lived wisdom, Held offers a gentle companion for those navigating illness, grief, caregiving, or seasons when the ground gives way beneath their feet. Rather than offering tidy answers or quick fixes, McCullough writes with honesty and tenderness, giving voice to the questions, fears, and fragile hopes that often accompany suffering.
This book is written for readers who are weary of platitudes and longing for something true. Through short reflections and lyrical passages, Held creates space for lament, reflection, and presence-reminding readers that they do not have to rush toward resolution in order to find meaning.
Rooted in Christian faith yet open and hospitable in tone, Held speaks to anyone who has received news that changes everything, who is learning how to live with loss, or who is searching for reassurance that suffering does not have the final word. It is a companion for hard seasons, an invitation to breathe, and a quiet reminder that even here, there is life.
