To everything there is a season. Author Dollie Fuller shares vignettes from her life that bring this adage home time and again. A child of the south, the author suffered her share of pain and struggle. She found her path to healing through believing in her purpose on this earth, and in her unshakable faith. From the written plea she penned to God after being abused by a relative, to the harsh toil in the cotton fields, and winters where she found herself nearly frozen; from her father's outburst against her mother, to his own healing and growth; Fuller not only survived, but did so with renewed faith and hope. Gaining Strength Through Life Struggles: A Story of Survival is a poignant story of one child's struggle-and the confident, self-reliant woman she finally becomes. Indeed, we are reminded often that there is a time to weep and a time to laugh.
