he Unfolding of a Rose is a stirring account of a mother"s love, devotion to her faith, and survival of the unimaginable-losing her daughter, Meta, to breast cancer. Mamie Smith"s narration beautifully explores the emotional territories of the heart put to the ultimate test and her astounding courage to accept God"s plan. Meta was always a curious and beautiful girl, excelling in school and marrying the man of her dreams. Meta had two children and discovered a passion for entrepreneurial work by developing her own business. Meta"s world was turned upside down when she was diagnosed with breast cancer. Mamie began a search for the "why" of what happened and helped her daughter with her battle with cancer through her study and practice of Christian Science. These women, bound by love and an enduring faith, gained a greater understanding of the true meaning of life-our essence or spiritual being. As Mamie recounts, "I see her (Meta) as planted by divine mind, nurtured by spirit, and yielding the fruits of love." Smith"s amazing and beautiful tribute will resonate with anyone who has survived the loss of a child or may be going through the pain of a terminal illness. Its message is one of love, hope, acceptance and an enduring faith in God. Author Bio: ABOUT THE AUTHOR-Mamie Smith is a writer, retired vocal music teacher, and business woman.
