With his upcoming marriage to Clayton, he felt, somewhat ironically, that he would be free. He no longer thought about the real reason he had originally come to Miami. It was his home now and he was no longer afraid. Besides, it all happened a long time ago, and he felt no need to tell anyone about it, not even his beloved Clayton. He thought of Christy Sharps and wondered what became of her. But the past was the past, right? One must simply move on. He closed his dark eyes and slept, knowing that he was now safe, completely safe. He could not have been more wrong. By all accounts, the Crawfords are the perfect family. Privileged, attractive, and well-grounded, the Crawfords come from humble origins and embody the very essence of the American dream.

Family patriarchs Amanda and Ross Crawford struggle to hold their family together. Throughout it all, they rely on the strength of their love to see them through. But will it be enough?

Without turning away from the true benefits of an active spiritual program, she shows us how to work through life's challenges and periods of pain while evolving and maintaining an authentic relationship with our Higher Power.
