Shanna swallowed the lie-hook, line and sinker-that she should have recovered from the loss of her first family. Instead, she began to wake from dreams in the middle of the night from the wounds from her childhood. A family member's divorce brought those buried memories to the forefront and ripped the Band-Aid(r) from the 40 year-old, still festering wound in her heart. Shanna's honesty related in this book brought her a positive outlook on a childhood filled with turmoil and abuse. Her struggle to see God as a Father who loved her unconditionally is one everyone can relate to.
