Hi. My name is Becca. I’ve lived in Glenn Lake nearly my entire life. I’m the mother of three wonderful children, but I didn’t always enjoy that title. I used to think of it as my prison, my punishment for all my sins. Until one night when my life changed and everything I loved was nearly gone from me, or at least I was going to be gone. If not for my amazing daughter, Mandy, I don’t know if I would be here to tell my story. And what’s my story? It’s one of finding purpose and forgiveness, getting a second chance at being a mother, and finding my way back to my true love. Come have a seat. I’ll fix you a cup of tea and cut you a big slice of my famous banana bread while you listen to my tale. My name is Ricky. I will also share a part of Becca’s story by telling my side. We share a past, and I’d love to rekindle that flame. However, being a single dad and trying to raise young children, especially one who is still grieving her mother, might be too much for us to overcome.
