About the Book

Opening the door in the night to find two law enforcement officers on the front porch. Choosing a casket for her daughter and then seeing her daughter in that casket. A casket instead of a car, a headstone instead of a letter jacket, a funeral instead of a wedding. Learning to live without the insanity that was Sarah.


About the Author

On Homecoming Night, Lorrie Desbien said goodbye to her daughter as they parted ways following the football game. An hour later would come the knock at the door that mothers only think of in the late night hours that urges them to check on their sleeping children. The nightmare of life without Sarah had begun. Having lost her father when she was 18, Lorrie was acquainted with grief. However, nothing prepared her for the loss of her brown eyed middle child. The loss of Sarah and the passage of the next year left her mother a changed woman, emotionally, spiritually, and physically. From the excruciating pain of that first night and the next few days, to Homecoming Night one year later, Sarah's mom went on an emotional journey of tears and laughter, of guilt and relief and regret, and finally peace and triumph. Lorrie lives in Ponca City, OK with her husband. They have three surviving daughters, Chanda, Caroline and Emma Jane and two grandchildren Nicholas and Cambree. She has a Bachelor of Science Degree in Education and a Master of Education degree as a Reading Specialist. She teaches English at Deer Creek-Lamont High School. She actively pursues what she calls “Service to Others” projects, anonymously helping others through tough situations and dream acquisition.
