Opening Doors - A Collection of Poems for Surviving Death and Celebrating Life (Paperback)

Yes, it is possible to live the American dream. Joyce, David and Natalie Harris were proof of that. Joyce and David were high school sweethearts. They married, had a beautiful daughter and moved to an idyllic small college town in the hills of central West Virginia. David was a state trooper and loved his job. As a family, they were happily involved in peewee football, cheerleading, church youth groups, and school activities. Life was good! That all changed one fateful day. Trooper Dave Harris didnat come home for dinner that evening. The officer at their door said he wouldnat be coming home ever again. He had been killed in a car crash while responding to a robbery-in-progress alarm (ironically, a false alarm). This collection of poems chronicles the lives of this young daughter and mother, how they survived their grief and opened doors to once again celebrate life.
