When Love Is Blind
My book describes how you can be born into a family yet not accepted or understood. It describes how one can spend a lifetime seeking approval from family, never to achieve that goal. It describes how choices made can affect your entire life but never to wallow in self-pity and to always remember that we have a resource to fall back on. There is someone who will always be there to help with directions and guidance if we allow him to be a part of our lives.
