From Trials to Triumph

The product of a broken home, Robine T. Lane never wanted his own children to go through the hardships he went through as a child.

Raised by their single mother, Lane and his siblings navigate the rough terrain of Trinity Gardens, a housing project on Houston's north side, without the benefit of a father. But as he grows, and despite the pressure of poverty and crime, Lane succeeds in school, vows to become a police officer, and enrolls in the military to support his goals. Soon after he marries, he and his wife set out to build the life that Lane always dreamed of as a child.

Lane's marriage, however, causes great difficulty and trauma-and ultimately he is left to raise his three children alone. Though he tried desperately to avoid his mother's fate, history has repeated itself and placed Lane right at the heart of another broken family. And this time, he's the single parent.

An inspiring tale of one man's determination to pick himself up and carry on for the sake of his children, From Trials to Triumph: A Single Father Story is a celebration of the strength found in faith, family, and love.
