When she becomes physically and emotionally abusive to her own children, she reaches out to her friend Doretta for prayer and wisdom. But Irma may find herself at an even darker emotional place before she will admit she needs professional help to heal the past traumas. Will Doretta's letters of wisdom help Irma and her family, or will too much be broken to ever be repaired?

ARC Book Review This story centers around Irma and LaVern. Irma was abused physically and verbally by her step dad growing up. Her mom didn't stand up for her daughter because her husband also abused her. Her daughter, Irma, didn't know this. The lasting effects of the abuse carried over into Irma's adulthood. She resented her mom and step dad. When her step dad dies unexpectedly and her and her family goes back home for the funeral, it all comes to the surface again. Irma starts abusing her three children physically and verbally. When her husband finds out, he insists she get help and won't allow her to be by herself with the children. Then Irma finds out she is pregnant with her 4th child, which puts additional stress on her. With counseling from a Christian counselor, Irma is able to forgive her mom, her step dad and herself and become the mother she longs to be. This is a really good story about love, family, forgiveness and second chances. | | | |  | You can also reply to this email to leave a comment. | | | | |
