Captivating

It is a true story. Diane writes with a style that captures your imagination. After my husband read it, he kept referring to is as "the movie". I understand. One can picture the characters, even understand them. Because Diane described the players in an honest and compassionate way, it's easy to imagine forgiving any of their weaknesses. One benefit of describing people that way is that one can identify with each of the characters. We all have our "addictions", our sins, our struggles. Even if we have overcome them sooner, so as not to get caught, we can know just what it feels like to be in this story. In understanding all of the actors in this play, I have learned that others have emotional pain, too, not just me. Diane is the author that should write biographies, and not waste too much time on fiction.

Never give up

I couldnt put this book down till I got to the end. It is a life changing story of hope and forgiveness. By never giving up, you can heal and you can bring a family back together again after what seemed would be impossible, at one time.

Evidence of God's Work

This a an amazing true story of a family whose lives were nearly destroyed by a thoughtless act of the husband and father. It is evidence that by putting their trust in God and the teachings of Jesus Christ people can turn their lives around to have a productive and fruitful future. The book is well written and easy to read and instills a sense of confidence that no matter how "bad" or unfortunate a situation may be, there is always hope through belief in our Saviour. I commend Diane for writing it and wish the family Grace, Peace and Love.

Gripping

Seldom have I read a book that so completely held my interest, page after page, that had trouble putting it down. The TV and computer stood idly by until I had finished this gripping story. There's a stirring message here for everyone,

She is an inspiration to anyone in this situation.

I have seen first hand the Love of God at work in Diane and her children. I have been priviledged to be one of Mariah's 5th grade teachers and have watched her change and grow into a confident pre-teen. There is a peace about this family that can only come throught the Grace of God. The book is an inspiration to anyone who has had to face this walk. It is well written in a easy to read riviting style. I couldn't put it down. Blessings on this family!
