"This story illustrates both the humanity that can weaken relationships as well as the Divine power that we can experience through relation with one another -- and strengthening that can occur with devotion and forgiveness -- definitely a powerful story." ~ Chante DeLoach, College of the Holy Cross Counseling Center, Worcester, Maine
"Having been the child of a divorced couple I found myself continually weeping as I entered into the lives of this hurting family. Candi has caught the essence of the pain caused by separation, and delivers it with an emotional, heart-wrenching punch. I saw myself in the struggles of the oldest son, Todd, who was crying out desperately for the love of his father, but had been so emotionally wounded that it was almost impossible for him to break through the barrier he had built against his wayward parent. The book offers only one solution, and that solution comes with a surprise ending." ~ Steve Terrell, founder, Lamb's Players Theatre, San Diego; Actor, and author of The 90s: Decade of the Apocalypse
"A refreshing reminder of God's grace and forgiveness." ~ Raymond E. Branton, Psy.D.
