Singing Through Fire: A Memoir by Lara Silverman, J.D.

SYNOPSIS

Singing Through Fire invites readers into the Job-like true story of a young woman who loses everything and dares to ask why a good God allows it.

When rising federal prosecutor and Stanford Law graduate Lara Palanjian collapses on her dream job, she never imagines it will lead to four years bedridden-or to the love of her life.

Enter Matthew Silverman: brilliant professor, youth pastor, and terminal cancer patient with an inexplicable joy that defies his circumstances. What begins with a few random encounters soon ignites an extraordinary, God-written love story that neither of them saw coming.

As their unlikely romance unfolds between medical crises, late-night laughter, and unexpected musical performances, Matthew’s unshakable faith challenges everything Lara thinks she knows about God’s goodness—and what it means to walk with Christlike surrender, resilience, and joy in the face of overwhelming grief.

But with time against them, one question looms louder than the rest: What if this gift is only for a moment?

Surprisingly funny and spiritually rich, Singing Through Fire is a modern-day Job meets Lucille Ball. It explores what it means to suffer, love, and even laugh and make music while your life is burning down around you. It eloquently gives voice to the aching questions many believers quietly carry-then takes readers inside the breathtaking story of two people who found miraculous love and defiant joy amid heartbreaking loss.

It reveals how God can use even our deepest pain to write the most beautiful love stories—even on the cusp of eternity.

An unforgettable memoir. It’s like a love letter to life, even when life breaks you. This book changed the way I see suffering.” – Miriam Burnett

REVIEW

This is an important story for those who find themselves asking, “Why?”, into the darkness that comes with chronic pain & suffering. 

I received this book free from the author, publisher, or other source. My only obligation is to provide a fair and honest review.
