Hearing the words “it’s cancer,” threw Sara Phillips’ life
into chaos, until an unexpected turn of events and a chance encounter with a
stranger changed everything—his name was Ben. Based on real events, Ben and
Sara discover that when all else fails, healing can come in the most unexpected
ways. Chilling and heart wrenching, His
Name Was Ben is a triumph over the devastating circumstances and fear
experienced when faced with a terminal illness. In this narrative, the power of
love conquers shadows and transforms the very nature and meaning of what it is
to be fully alive. From the award winning, best-selling author of, The Persecution of Mildred Dunlap, comes
a story filled with soul and passion that will leave the reader thinking about
it for days after the last page is closed.
“Paulette Mahurin compassionately
renders an insightful tale about love and life in the moment, when a moment is
all there is. Both ordinary and extraordinary, Sara and Ben kept me up at night
rooting for them, as did Mahurin of course, a writer of exceptional heart, for
her tender and wise depiction of love against all odds. A rare pleasure, His Name Was Ben is not to be missed.”—Lee Fullbright, author of The Angry Woman Suite
“Against the biggest of obstacles a
couple can face, the positive message is that it is never too late to start
living.” –Christoph Fischer author of Sebastian.
