Approaching middle age, Deedra Climer experienced an unimaginable
tragedy--the death of her only son, Joshua, in a motorcycle accident.
The spiral of grief that followed reopened ugly wounds that had never
fully healed: being raised by a mentally ill and drug-addicted mother,
the struggles she faced as a young single mother, and the guilt from
exposing her children to one toxic boyfriend after another. Stripped
bare emotionally, Deedra is forced to face who she is and where she came
from. In sifting through the stark pain of the past, she is finally able
to piece together her own sense of self and begin to imagine an
unburdened future.
Told with crushing honesty and an unflinching eye, Wailing Wall shares
one woman's struggle to make sense of her shattered life in the year
following her son's death. Framed by the devastation of loss, Deedra's
story reaches beyond heartbreak to show the strength of her spirit,
illuminated by the persevering hope of redemption.
