Publisher's Summary:
Even life's most desolate experiences can bring beautiful surprises.
There comes a time in life when we find ourselves in the desert place of burning questions: Why? And why me? But even as we shake our fist heavenward, the heart whispers another question: Who? Who are you, God? Who are you to me?
Against the backdrop of the Sonoran Desert, Lynne Hartke asks her own hard questions as cancer arrives like a thief with one goal: to take it all. Hair. The contents of a stomach. A marriage. A life. As her days become a blur of doctors' appointments, treatments, and surgeries, she wrestles with a tumble of tangled emotions, a shaken faith, and crushing self-doubt. And then, the unthinkable: Cancer is now threatening not only her life but also the lives of both her parents.
Through her raw, lyrical words, Hartke invites you to discover, as she did, that even in life's hardest places, you are not alone in your fear, you are not foolish to hope, and you are never forgotten by a loving, pursuing God. Never.

Will they laugh, cry, or sing with you during your last days?
Under Desert Sky, Lynne Hartke, Published by Revell, May 2, 2017, 227 pages
You and I have one thing in common, we are both on our way out. In your last days, will they laugh, cry or sing? Lynne helps me to decide I am going to plan for all three.
Lynne quickly takes us through the denial of her cancer diagnosis to the fear of her treatment to the victory of remission. Just when she finds hope again, we are faced with a walk through the desert with her and her parents after both of their diagnosis. On this walk, they teach us how to leave this world overflowing with humor, tears and joy.
You will be relieved and blessed to find out that Lynne has packed limitless water and grape soda for the trip through the desert with her, not missing any soul quenching vistas along the way. Her love of the desert is on par with Ed Abbey, but she loves people in a way Ed couldnât muster.
I loved the book and recommend it to those who have been, will be or are on a desert journey. We all need to be able to see the beautiful view that is along the dangerous and crooked path we all are on.

Lynne's blogs have been a part of my life for several years. So, when I learned that a book was being published, I did not hesitate to purchase one. It is not a disappointment. She writes of the beauty of the Arizona desert and of suffering. Yes suffering! Her descriptive and honest messages contain beauty as well as hope. I sincerely encourage others to walk these paths with Lynne and learn with her, as she has learned from our Lord.
