Sharing with you a mother’s true story of grief and promise.
A couple of years ago I met a wonderful lady who was blogging through her grief. Emily Pittsford and I exchanged a few emails and I was amazed at her strength and courage. Fast forward to just a week or so ago and I received another email from my friend that I had not heard from in a while. Emily has been busy. She has written a fantastic account of the death of her son and his eye-witness account of another tragedy: A Most Incredible Witness.
On September 1, 2010, Timothy Pittsford chased a man who had just hit and killed a woman in a crosswalk. Chasing a Prius in his Eclipse through the streets of San Francisco was the biggest even of his life. Little did he know that days later he would also be dead. Yet being a witness was all part of a bigger plan. As the young man who hit the woman saw Tim in his rear view mirror, God was in Tim’s.
You will not want to put the book down as you follow Emily through her shock, sorrow, anger and confusion. But it is her faith in her God that will leave you inspired and encouraged.
Have you suffered loss? Have you ever had to bury a child, a husband or someone who meant the world to you? This book will bring you great comfort as you walk with someone who has been there.
A Most Incredible Witness is available here on WestBow Press and also at Amazon.com in paperback or kindle here. Please share about the book and encourage others to hang on to Jesus no matter how dark the trial!
While Emily Pittsford is a first-time author, she was born to write this book. This woman shares from the depths of her soul and she will make you feel as though you could sit down for a cup of tea with her and share your struggles. She and her husband, Bill, have been married for 36 years and are the parents of Leanne Pittsford. They live in Southern California and are active at Foothills Christian Church in El Cajon, California.

Thank you Nannette, I hope so. 💗
When asked what my favorite subject was….Show & Tell was always my answer! Even in first grade I loved getting up before the class and would plan my speech for days. Glad she is enjoying it Nannette!
So true!! Thank you for visiting Constance. Blessings to you!
Please do, Michele. It was a great book. My 89 year old mother-in-law is reading it the last couple of days. She is captivated by Emily’s willingness to share. Blessings to you and thanks for the recipe…yum!
Hello Dear Emily, thank you for commenting. Your book DOES bring hope to the hopeless because it is filled with our Lord Jesus. Blessings to you and comfort and strength be yours for sharing so deeply your grief and pain. God is so good. You will bless so many people! ♥♥♥
Thank you. A reader said to me, that though it’s a challenging thing, to loose a child, she felt hopeful after she read it. Blessings!
Emily
Thank you for that. It was such a journey in just writing it,. So far the feedback has been amazing, and love being able to hold this incredible story in my hands.

This sounds like a very heartbreaking and moving book. Will have to put it on my to-read list for sure. Thanks for visiting me on my blog! 😉
How wonderful that Emily can use her grief to minister to readers. She’s in a position to offer hope to those who feel there is none.
