Abstract
Washed in the Blood is an inspiring story of life, loss, hope, suffering and eventually transcendence. It is equal measures heartbreaking and inspiring. However, the secret weapon is the tongue-in-cheek humor. Humor has always been a means of coping with the pain in life. In fact, humor helps convey the central message which is that you can endure a personal tragedy and remain vitally absorbed in the business of living. Life tears open everyone. The key is to come back a little stronger in those torn places. Washed in the Blood is much more than a heartbreaking tale about life’s problems. This is a story about the courage of the human spirit and triumph over remarkable circumstances.
