A family’s only hope to heal their shattered lives is that love is stronger than grief.

---

"e;People stay together, fall apart, come back together, altered. It is a book about work, about grief, about thick ongoing love"e; from the bestselling author (The Boston Globe).In the midst of a nearly perfect life, Doris Senter is thankful but wary. "e;We can't ever know what will come,"e; she says. When an unimaginable tragedy turns the family of five into a family of four, everything the Senters held faith in is shattered. The family is consumed by sorrow and guilt. Slowly, the surviving family members find their way to forgiveness-of themselves and of each other.Few writers know the human heart and the burden of grief as well as New York Times-bestselling author Meredith Hall (Without a Map). This is a radiant novel of goodness and love-both its gifts and its obligations-that will stay with readers long after the last page. With a rare tenderness and compassion, Beneficence shows broken hearts becoming whole as this family reclaims their love and peace."e;If the word 'luminous' didn't already exist, you'd have to invent it to describe Meredith Hall's radiant new novel."e; -Richard Russo, Pulitzer Prize-winning author "e;A modern American masterpiece."e; -Dani Shapiro, New York Times-bestselling author"e;A quiet but steady book, one that echoes ancient and important rhythms."e; -The Washington Post"e;One of the best books I've ever read."e; -Simon Van Booy, award-winning author "e;Spare but decked with moments of crystalline beauty . . . A family flounders in grief, but finds their way home through forgiveness and acceptance, in Beneficence, Meredith Hall's gorgeous and moving new novel."e; -Foreword (starred review)
