Forty-year-old Sandy Richards is an effective music teacher, wife, and mother living a comfortable middle-class life in a small Midwestern town. But behind her warm look and easy laugh is much burden she cannot release. During her youth, Sandy (or "Shadow" as just about everybody realized her) was inseparable from her larger-than-life dad, a World War II hero she adored. Sandy implemented him almost everywhere, hung on his every word, and cherished him with all her heart as only a kid can. It had been more difficult to love him at some times than at others, specially when he was there and then he was removed - right in front of her eye without ever departing the home. For reasons she would not grasp until a long time later, something proceeded to go horribly incorrect and their marriage fractured, seemingly forever, when her dad passed on of lung cancer tumor on one long, hot summer season evening. His passing kept Shadow only to "sort through his warehouse of junk," an old storage service jammed with thoughts so overwhelming they well balanced her on the advantage of suicide. Then, when and where she needed him most, a stranger entered her life. And everything transformed once more. The Final Service offers a riveting report about human characteristics, emotional abandonment, and exactly how unfulfilled dreams kept a middle-aged girl on the brink of personal devastation until one event forever altered the center of her perception system and her life. It really is a tale of beliefs, family, and forgiveness, and the realization that makes larger and stronger than ourselves are at work inside our lives in ways we are unable to fully understand.
