About this ebook

Diagnosis: breast cancer

Prognosis: terminal

Life: just beginning

Her diamond caught the sun’s rays and refracted light across the room. She’d asked herself again and again: How could she be so blessed? Partner at a prestigious law firm and engaged to the man of her dreams . . . there was no doubt. God had smiled on Kendra Woods.

But the moment Kendra is diagnosed with terminal breast cancer, her world collapses. Within days, her fiancé backs out of the wedding and the firm suggests a leave of absence during her treatment. Of all the roles Kendra has played over the years—daughter, sister, friend, student, attorney, bride-to-be—cancer patient seems the most unwelcome in the world.

When her path crosses with that of youth pastor Lance Alexander, Kendra only sees the troublemaker she knew in high school. But Lance could prove an unexpected spark in the darkness that covers her. Will Kendra be able to embrace a glimmer of hope?

Includes Reading Group Guide

“Hidden Blessings is a beautifully written, deeply moving story about a woman going through breast cancer. It reaffirms God’s lifting us up through our darkest times. I highly recommend this book and this author.” —Carrie Stuart Parks, breast cancer survivor and author of A Cry from the Dust

"With trademark understated elegance, . . . this emotionally charged addition to Tate's body of work is neither sappy nor trite." —Publishers Weekly

Ratings and reviews

Wow what a blessing!!! This book was and is a Hidden Blessing for so many reasons but most of all to know that Jesus is our Refuge our Strength. He allows the unthinkable to happen so that the unbelievable makes a believer out of you. My soul is truly blessed and filled with an Amazing Love after this fine read. Thanks Ms KC Tate..

Certainly while reading, I thought about those in my life who've suffered anything terminal. I also thought of my own marriage. Do I cherish God's gift to me as Lance & Kendra cherished the LORD's gifts to them? Kim's writing has a way of making you feel like you are enduring & rejoicing right along with the characters. She also makes you analyze your own life and how often you seek His face in your trials.

I have enjoyed Kim Cash Tate's novels. They are inspiring & uplifting to Christians & others. Thank You for reminding us that God is with us through it all, Amen.
