Non-Fiction Memoir
A Mother Loses Almost Everything Before She Discovers
True Joy In 1977, Kathy Eldon moved with her husband and two children
from England to Kenya, where she found freedom as she had
never known it before and was ready to push back from her
old, restrictive life. Diving into this tumultuous new world
as a journalist and writer, she embraced the energy and
creativity of Kenyans, both black and white. But her world
collapsed when her twenty-two-year-old son, Dan—an artist
and photojournalist on assignment for Reuters—was stoned to
death by an angry mob in Somalia, killed by the very people
he was trying to help. Kathy's journey through this tragic
loss was deeply spiritual as she discovered that, in many
ways, Dan was still ever-present in her life. This gripping international saga includes a passionate love,
a dangerous coup in Kenya, and a compelling glimpse into a
woman on the brink of self-discovery. After her son's
murder, Kathy began to publish his art, which gained
popularity worldwide and—together with her daughter,
Amy—launched a global foundation celebrating Dan's work as a
creative activist. Throughout Kathy's exploration of
profound tragedy, we find the secrets to not only surviving,
but being truly, gloriously alive.
