Samenvatting:

At age twenty-six, Cheri Taylor found herself alone with a six-year-old child and nowhere to go except back home to her parents-broken.

This is a situation that many have faced, sometimes of their own making and sometimes not. Either way, everyone in such a situation has the same chance of bringing something positive out of such frightening circumstances. Often when we are broken, our tendency is to crawl into a corner and lick our wounds. We run from the only source of true help that is available-our faithful, loving, merciful, forgiving God. Many people decide to numb the pain with harmful substances, bad behavior, or other destructive choices. Fortunately, that was not the case with Cheri.

Cheri made the hard choice to work through her pain with the help of her godly family and friends as she sought to resume the pursuit of the calling she had felt for most of her life, a calling that she thought had been stripped away from her. She learned that God's promise to be "close to the brokenhearted; [and rescue] those whose spirits are crushed" (Ps. 34:18, NLV) was one that He would keep, just as He had kept all his other promises through the years.

In the pages of this book, you will find the story of how a loving Father takes his broken child and makes something beautiful from the shattered pieces of her life. As you read, remember that what He has done for Cheri, He can-and will-do for you. - Henrietta Brown
