The narrative tracks the family’s experience from Kevin’s initial diagnosis with a rare disease through his eventual passing. Petkau describes the project as a long-held commitment to preserve her son's memory while documenting how she processed profound loss. By reflecting on these events years later, she aims to provide a resource for parents navigating bereavement and those grappling with suffering.

Petkau emphasizes that the book is intended to serve as a guide for grief ministries and church groups, offering a candid look at the intersection of faith and tragedy. She credits her religious conviction as the primary mechanism for finding purpose during what she describes as the most challenging season of her life. The memoir is currently available through WestBow Press, Amazon, and Barnes & Noble.
