Wow! What a great story. I could not put it down. Talk about a strong faith. I thoroughly enjoyed it.

Heart-breaking, following the 13 year search for her son. Imagine last seeing him when he was 3 years old, and not knowing whether he was alive or dead for 13 years. That captures the drama and sometimes despondency of the gap in her life and in the life of her son.

I somewhat identified with her. We had no contact with a son for 10+ years—this is close to home; her words resonated with us, and they will with you. Vivian invites the reader into her world during and after the 13 years. Life changing for everyone involved.

A moving account told in simple testimonial fashion about persevering hope, restoration, and forgiveness. There were a few sections that gave details of more interest to family and friends rather than the general reader, but that is a minor quibble.
