“All That is Sacred” written by Donna Norman-Carbone is a stirring, thought-provoking piece of literature that I can only describe as art. At one time, Lynn and her four best friends were a mismatched bunch of teens who bonded over their love of beaches, E.T., and eighties’ music. Nineteen years later, the girls are all women with adult lives, husbands, children, and careers of their own. Sadly, they’ve all lost touch; in spite of the promise they all made to remain sisters forever, some of them are little more than acquaintances now. Lynn regrets the way their close bonds of friendship have faded, even as she struggles to maintain a connection with her husband, Scott, who works too much. She wants her life and everyone in it to be perfect, and decides a private getaway with Scott can help mend her marriage. Unfortunately, Lynn and Scott get in an accident and Lynn doesn’t survive. How can she find peace after death when her friends, family, and two young girls are all so fractured? Can her death somehow be the catalyst to bring them back together again? … More “All That is Sacred” by Donna Norman-Carbone
