Kate Merrick examines the Bible's gritty stories of resilient women as well as her own experience losing a child--a journey followed by more than a million on prayfordaisy.com--to reveal the reality of surprising joy and deep hope even in the midst of heartache.

Is it possible live fully--even joyfully--in the middle of overwhelming pain?

In the excruciating aftermath of her young daughter's death from cancer, Kate Merrick struggled to find a way to live. Not just to survive or go through the motions, but to live fully. Faithfully. With real joy amid inevitable tears.

To discover how, Kate delved into the stories in the Bible of real women who suffered deeply and emerged somehow joyful. How did Sarah, after twenty-five years of achingly empty arms, learn to laugh without bitterness? How did Bathsheba, defiled by the king who then had her husband killed, come to walk in strength and dignity, to smile without fear of the future? In her encounters with these heroines of the faith, Kate discovered how to have contentment--and even joy--whatever the circumstances.

By turns heartbreaking and humorous, And Still She Laughs reveals the secret to finding hope in the midst of devastation. In the end, no matter what hardships we face, we can smile, cry, and come away full--laughing without fear and eagerly looking for what is to come.

"And Still She Laughs is the terrifying, tearful, heartbreaking, heart healing and humorous, definitive true story of survival and triumph."

--Kathy Ireland, chair of Kathy Ireland Worldwide

"Kate Merrick is one of those women that I always wish I had more time with--her honesty, sincerity, and messy straightforwardness are different, in the very best way. Her book, And Still She Laughs, is the same way. It's one of those books I will keep coming back to it for truth and inspiration."

--Lindsey Nobles, COO of the IF: Gathering

Love the "B00" Colors, but the "RX" colors are a totally different boyshort!!!!
Size: 3X-Large, Color: B004
The packs that have a color name starting with "B00" are fantastic! I bought the black and grey ones, and a set of the multi-colored ones, and they are the best boyshorts, ever!!! I attest to this now, after 6 months of everyday wear and wash. This first part of this review is only for boyshorts that have a color name starting with "B00"! Read the end for my review of the ones with a color that starts with "RX". Completely different panty. The B00 colors are sewn impeccably well, and they are a beautiful, quality material that resembles very thick, very soft leg stockings (panty hose). They stretch easily in every direction, so they hug your curves perfectly. These are not cotton! I hate cotton undies. These are nylon, or something synthetically similar. Unlike stockings, I think it would be very difficult to put a snag in the material because of how much thicker the material is than stockings. I actually tried to snag them with my torn finger nail just to see, but the material is very strong, so I could not put a run in them. Even though these are thick and soft, they dry remarkably fast, because of the looser weave of the synthetic material. They do not roll at all at the waist or on the legs, and I am a very curvy girl, so if they were going to roll, they would definitely roll on me. They wash very well. I've machine-washed them all weekly for 6 months now, and also tumble dried them on the low setting, at a laundromat. No issues at all with fading, color-bleed. shrinking, ravels, and no pilling. These are definitely my everyday undies. One really nice feature is that since these are tagless, they sewed a few raised lines of soft stitching in the back, so you'd always know where your rear-end goes. One thing some people may not like, is that there is no separate liner on the crotch. It is pretty much the same material as the rest of the panty, but a bit thicker, with an extra light layer of lighter-colored stitching incorporated into the inside of the fabric, to make it a bit more absorbent. I actually prefer this, because it means they dry faster, and they are less likely to fall apart in the gusset, but some people may prefer the extra liner of fabric that is typical for most undies. These are not binding at all, so not a shaper panty by any means, but they are certainly very comfortable and stay where you put them. I would think these would be fantastic for backpacking (I love backpacking!) for all the features I mentioned. I have micromodal boy shorts by meundies that I used to wear for hiking, but I will definitely wear these instead because of the reduced drying time after washing, or when sweating. The other micromodal bamboo/cotton-like materials just hold too much moisture for hiking. Undies that retain moisture can cause painful chafing, and can even contribute to hypothermia. I love these! I am buying more!! REVIEW UPDATE! Well, I did buy more. I bought the 5-pack of color that starts with "RX", and I was super disappointed! The "RX" ones are NOTHING like the "R00" ones I described above. Look closely at the pictures. Those ones with a different fabric panel on the hip are tight, not nearly as stretchy, roll instantly on my inner thighs, dip in the back, are not nearly as soft, and do not dry quickly. They are a completely different boyshort, and I do not like "RX" model of boyshort at all. I suppose if you had no meat on your thighs and you wanted a shaper-type panty, the "RX" might be exactly what you're looking for, but not for me, for sure.

Full Coverage
Size: Large, Color: B2207sp
They're nice and light, super stretchy, and not too tight around the edges. Im a size 14 and got a large amd They're a smidge tight, but I think if I would get an xl theyd fit perfectly, They're still comfy as is. One stipulation I had is I wanted them to cover my whole butt cheeks, nothing cutsie short cut, not for this. They cover my entire booty cheeks and stay there pretty well. Oh and also no camel toe! Id buy them again and would recommend them to anyone.

Make sure you size up!!
Size: 4X-Large, Color: B004
Allllllmost 5 stars if the sizing was correct. I’ve been on the hunt for a decent fitting pair of women’s boxer briefs. I would say these are more so boyshorts. That being said, I wanted something loose for sleeping in so I got TWO sizes up. I normally go for a 2x and got a 4x and they’re perfect fitting. So, you didn’t get what I was looking for but did end up with some decent fitting undies. So I can’t complain too much. Just not the boxer briefs I was hoping for. Super stretchy and soft. Comfortable for sleeping in.
