Dear Reader, Why do ordinary, intelligent, and loving women end up
having abortions or putting their own child in foster care? The
author did both. This is her story as told through a series of
letters from the heart to all her children. Laura John's first book
takes readers through a very personal account, from being a child
with no roots, who has a teenage abortion and a mental breakdown in
her forties, to the woman she now is. An unshakable faith and
preservation of family have become the driving forces in her life,
and she describes through a series of heartfelt letters to her
eight children how one very dysfunctional family is torn apart and
reconciled to survive rape, alcoholism, divorce, miscarriages, drug
abuse, and autism. The blended family that emerges through these
pages will encourage anyone who has experienced a breakdown in
relationships. This is not a self-help book or a book brimming with
advice for parents; rather it is a chronicle of being a mother in
often difficult circumstances, and about making impossible choices
and living with the consequences. It has been said that the only
thing stronger than fear is hope, and it is hope that emerges
triumphantly in this book that is essentially about being a mother.
Laura John was born and brought up as a white child in Central
Africa (Congo) to English missionary parents. She now lives in
Sydney, Australia with her youngest children (one of whom is
autistic) and her husband, who describes himself as the madman from
Galashiels. Publisher's website: http: //sbprabooks.com/LauraJohn
