• Daddy Bill Didn't Come for Coffee Today
  By Krisanne Smith Roll

This book is a raw and uncensored account of a daughter’s first year of grieving for her dead father. It gives the readers a chance to watch a grieving person for a year—written in real time—it is not a book “looking back” on a year of grieving and perhaps misinterpreting the realities of it; nor is it a book telling the reader “this is what’s going to happen.” It is reality—written as it was experienced.

It is about a plethora of subjects and topical issues for discussion: adults burying parents; family dynamics in grief situations; hospitals; open adoption and its effects; small town life. . . and much more.

It is set in a small town, yet has universal appeal.
It is non-fiction, yet reads like a novel.
It is about grieving, yet causes the reader to laugh.
It is resonating with her personal faith, yet does not preach nor condemn.
It is a book celebrating the agony of grief.
It is a book not soon forgotten.

• The author writes with an insightful realism that brings tears, laughter, and hope. Her descriptive and colorful writings create a window into the thought process of a person struggling with loss. This is not a scientific study of how to deal with grief, but it is an opportunity to walk with Krisanne on her personal path of questioning, shock, pain, numbness, loneliness, fear, and anger—and in so doing, perhaps see yourself.
