This is a well written story addressing a tough topic...sexual abuse of a 5 year old. Don't let that scare you away. It's not detailed in that respect. We get the mother's story of finding out that her brother in law and sister have been taking pornographic pictures in their garage, and her son is a victim. She is surrounded by people who love the Lord and show her her need of Him. It is a beautiful and captivating story.

This book was superbly written with dignity and truth. Nancy Rue holds nothing back when getting the point across of the devastation that comes from incest or sexual molestation; not only devastation to the victim, but to the family members it effects.

A very profound book with a heart-wrenching message.

Nancy Rue deals with a very difficult subject in a perceptive and compassionate manner. The Holy Spirit was obviously in control of her writing as she penned this story. Everyone should read this book!
