I dedicate this book to all the children of divorce, both young and old, who are searching for meaning and peace in their lives. I want to give them hope. After forty years of searching, I have finally come to peace with my own life. I now realize that God loves me, and even when I didn’t realize he was there, he was watching over me and leading me. My message to all children of divorced parents out there is: God loves you. He is protecting you and watching out for you. He has a will and purpose for your life. He will show you the way. No matter how bad things seem right now, keep breathing and keep believing. Even though your earthly mother or father may have let you down, your heavenly Father will not.
In my story, I hope you can find yourself, and that my lifetime of loss and searching will help you in your life’s walk. I wish I could have learned the lesson of Isaiah 41:10 when I was a child. It would have helped me through some very dark times. I ask you to please read this verse every day of your life and believe it, all of your days.
Do not fear for I am with thee; do not be dismayed, for I am thy God, who strengthens thee; I will help thee always; I will always uphold thee with the right hand of my righteousness. (Isaiah 41:10 JUB).

My Review:
This is a tough story to read. Abuse of a child is never easy to hear or read about. However I applaud this author for spreading awareness. The verse "Do not fear for I am with thee; do not be dismayed, for I am thy God, who strengthens thee; I will help thee always; I will always uphold thee with the right hand of my righteousness. (Isaiah 41:10 JUB)." is one that I will never forget. There are times when we all feel that we are alone and forgotten. Even though this book is dedicated to the children of divorce I think that this book is perfect for a lot of other people as well. Widows are what comes to my mind first. However his book is great for any one. There is a section at the end that offers advice, and I recommend that every one reads it, and this book. If only to read about the verse above. I have often said that love makes a home, and you can house with no love and be homeless. God is always with us, no matter how hard life is. Even if you feel like you are alone and desperate, God has a plan. I have heard that God never gives you more then you can handle. I am giving this book a 4/5. I was given a copy to review from Life Sentence Publishing, however all opinions are my own.
