After a tragic accident that would take the life of her 11-year-old daughter and leave her 9-year-old son fighting for his life, Terece Horton returns to the Shine podcast to discuss the debut of her memoir, "Rebecca's Gift."

A few years after the fateful accident, Terece started writing to capture all the signs, symbols, and messages that continued to guide her toward her healing.
