Stacy Hall and her mother shared a close relationship. It was devastating when Hall's mom was diagnosed with a rare form of cancer. In The Various Faces of Grief, Hall gives a personal and detailed account of a daughter and her mother's journey through a tough cancer battle.

The story demonstrates that grief is unpredictable and overwhelming not only at the time of the loss, but also throughout the illness, and it often resurfaces unexpectedly. The Various Faces of Grief shares a true testimony of how a daughter survives the loss of her mother through faith in God, and it shows how she transforms herself in the process.

In this memoir, Hall tells how she felt as if her whole world was crumbling around her, but she never allowed the circumstances to consume her. Instead, she chose to use her struggles to encourage others who might be dealing with the same kind of challenges. The experiences she has endured have made her stronger not only in the physical sense but also in her daily Christian walk.
