Alex Donnelly, a twenty-one year old man, receives news that he is to receive a substantial amount of money from a trust his birth mother set up for him years ago before she deserted him. Upon learning the source of the money, the anger Alex feels toward his mother for causing him to grow up in an abusive foster home surfaces. He begins a journey on which he must deal with his past and learn how to forgive those who have wronged him. Alex encounters several key figures along the way and together they help each other find the strength to do what is right. This story offers hope to those who are facing difficulties in their lives. The message that God wants to help His children if they ask is featured prominently. The author also stresses that God has a plan for each of us and will put the right people in the right place in order for His plan to succeed. Doing the right thing and facing the consequences of one's actions is another major theme in this book. Laycock effectively demonstrates how powerful prayer can be. She provides a good answer to the often asked question, "Why does God let bad things happen?" This book can be a source of inspiration for anyone who is experiencing anger or hopelessness. But it can also teach us to reach out to others who are in need of peace and hope and to direct them towards God. Publisher: Castle Quay Books |
