Sometimes tragedy changes a life for the better. If you find
reading Dave Pelzer "A Child Called 'It'" and Cathy Glass "Cry
Silent Tears" rewarding than this heartwarming story of overcoming
the past and finding acceptance will keep you up all night turning
the pages as you run the gamut of emotions. Jeremy Bergeron is a
four year old boy who will do anything to earn the love of his
parents. But that is a love that they are unable or unwilling to
give. Suffering from the neglect of his mother and the physical
abuse from his father, Jeremy does everything in his power to
survive. Chase Milan is a rookie K-9 police officer. His job is to
confront evil and get it off the streets. He knows about crime, but
he has never before had to deal with its aftermath. With his canine
partner, Neesa, Chase doesn't realize the struggles that come with
picking up the pieces once tragedy has torn through a life. With
the squeeze of a trigger, two lives heading on different paths
converge and Chase learns exactly what it's like to pick up the
pieces and build a life that has been shattered by violence.
Because he is signed up to be a foster parent, he gets temporary
custody of the child. But his wife is unable to deal with a child
who fears every shadow and finds comfort in hiding behind the sofa.
When atop all the other issues, questions about his gender identity
make the family question everything they once believed was certain.
Chase was only supposed to take Jeremy into his home for a week as
social services locate the next of kin, but his life will never be
the same again. GOD BLESS THE CHILD is a story that will both touch
and challenge you, a story that will have you tap into your deepest
emotions. A novel that dares to ask the question "How far will you
go to make sure a child grows up happy and healthy?"
