A travelogue of grief, Out of the Dark resonates with any heart that has ever been shattered by loss or betrayal. After a tragic accident, Jeanne journeys through the worst any mother or wife might be asked to endure. A deeply moving portrait of courage, Elliott's memoir explores how the dark night of the soul can find passage through pain to a place of radiance and hope. A touching and beautifully rendered story.
