In this classic trial of faith, C.S. Lewis probes the fundamental issues of life and death, and summons those who grieve to honest mourning and hope in the midst of loss. This work probes the "mad midnight moments" of Lewis's mourning and loss, moments in which he questioned what he had previously believed about life and death, marriage, and even God.
