About I’ll Be There: A Story of Family, Friends, and Faith

I’ll Be There is an emotional and uplifting true story of love, loss, and unbreakable bonds. When Cindy’s best friend, Debbie, loses her granddaughter unexpectedly, Cindy sets out on a journey to North Carolina to support her, encountering humorous challenges along the way. Stranded in Atlanta, she reflects on their decades-long friendship and the life lessons imparted by the strong women who shaped them.


In this heartfelt memoir, Cindy shares the highs and lows of a friendship that’s weathered the toughest storms—be it childhood hardships, military service, or personal health battles. Their story is not only about enduring grief but about how faith, love, and friendship can guide us through life’s most trying moments.

As Cindy faces a health crisis of her own years later, the tables turn, and she relies on the same faith and friendship that has carried them both through the years. Will Deb be able to put aside her own grief to be there for Cindy? Or will the weight of loss be too much?
