Oh Wendydarling, thank you for this!
I had no idea this wonderful woman had that kind of history.
I went right on my public library website to see that they have 14 on order (both hard cover and e-book) and I put my name on the list to get first dibs.
Always nice to see "Wendydarling" pop up in the forum.

I knew Marsha had a personal history, but had no idea she suffered so deeply. Her quote about getting out of her own personal hell but vowing to go back on and help others to get out really moved me. I feel like all the parents here can relate to that in dealing with these extremely difficult children of ours.

If we do not believe, how can they?
If we do not have hope.., how can they.
Keep loving them
Believe, we must
Peace
yes
I'm right with you, do you have twitter account? I'm setting up a 'wendydarling' especially.
