About this listen
An unforgettable story of eternal love, spiritual awakening, and personal transformation.
“Song of the Cardinal is one of the most beautiful and captivating books I have ever read. It is a 360-page Chicken Soup for the Soul® story.” —Jack Canfield, coauthor of the Chicken Soup for the Soul® series
“If you're ready to be inspired and awakened, this book is a must-read.” —Kyle Cease, transformational comedian and New York Times bestselling author of I Hope I Screw This Up
At 48, Cynthia Brandt seemed to have it all—a successful career, beautiful homes, and a fairytale marriage.
On a foggy night in Juneau, Alaska, that world shattered when her 54-year-old husband Harry died unexpectedly, four thousand miles away in Atlanta, Georgia.
Though she feared his death would destroy her, when she flew out of Juneau and into a life without Harry, she actually embarked on a journey of healing and self-discovery that no lines on a map could ever define.
Early in this journey, a brilliant red cardinal appears in the crabapple tree outside her back porch—an unmistakable sign of eternal love that would become an ever-present guide on her path forward.
This path forward, from heartbreak to healing, is paved with synchronicities, renewed and enduring friendships, and a deepening trust in life’s unfolding.
Cynthia uses masterful storytelling to take you with her on this journey as she honors Harry while creating a new life aligned with her authentic self.
Song of the Cardinal, at its heart, it is a story of eternal love, spiritual awakening, and personal transformation.
Recognized for its power to inspire and uplift, it provides listeners with assurance that:
—You are never alone.
—It’s never too late to follow your dreams.
—Grace is waiting patiently for you on the other side of grief.
