RAPID CITY, S.D. – June 20, 2026 – New Harbor Press today announced the upcoming release of When God Waits by Cynthia Woods, a poignant and deeply personal account of finding faith and solace during life’s most trying transitions. The book will be available everywhere books are sold on July 7, 2026.
In When God Waits, Woods shares her journey through the painful, overlapping experiences of losing her mother and her husband to terminal illnesses. Rather than a traditional memoir, Woods has crafted a narrative of hope, designed to offer comfort to those standing on the “other end of the rope”—the loved ones left to watch, support, and grieve those who are suffering.
The book explores the paradoxes of faith and the quiet, miraculous ways God moves when life seems darkest. Woods, who has used writing as a source of therapy since childhood, chronicled her daily thoughts and experiences to navigate her own journey. Her honest account provides readers with a companion for their own seasons of grief, assuring them that they do not have to walk through painful times alone.
“This book is written for those who are watching a loved one suffer,” said Sr. Editor Stephanie Roberts. “Cynthia’s vulnerability is a gift; she invites the reader into her own heartbreak so they might find the peace that passes understanding in their own.”
When God Waits (ISBN: 978-1-63357-485-4) will be available in paperback and eBook formats through major online retailers and the New Harbor Press Store for $18.99 beginning July 7.
