"Trials and difficulties can, if we let them, become holy places - places where we can feel the power of the Atonement in our lives. Our struggles can be consecrated to our good and groth, and you and I can become more like Christ." - Kris Belcher 
When the only remaining sight she had left began to fade, Kris Belcher knew her cancer had returned. First diagnosed with bi-lateral retinoblastoma at the age of seven months, she had feared blindness since childhood. Ironically, the treatment that had saved her life as a baby was responsible for the radiation- induced cancer that again threatened her life as an adult. Now a wife and mother of two young sons, she faced her greatest challenge. Five major surgeries within the space of five months left her physically and emotionally devastated and completely blind. Yet during that horrendous time, Kris discovered moments of spiritual strengthening that became holy places in her life places where she could feel the purifying, transforming power of Christ that enabled her to survive and to learn how to live in a world of darkness. Compelling, honest, and at times humorous, her story and the insights she gained will help others find hope and healing in the midst of their own trials.
