Room in the Heart: Surviving a Childhood Undone, Fulfilling a Pact to Love - Paperback

by Dana Andrews (Author)

This is a story Dana Andrews is finally ready to tell. It's the story of how she survived a childhood of Cinderella-like emotional abuse by an unstable and punitive mother and somehow was able to fulfill a vow to raise her own five children surrounded by love. Dana says, "Looking back on the past it is easy to see that there is a plan-not always ours-that causes things to fall into place, just where they belong. We are so small in the scheme of things. Let peace fill your soul despite the noisy confusion of life. Embrace even the unexpected turns; often we make friends and learn lessons when we take these detours. There may be no flags to signify when we've finally healed-just a wiser, sandpapered, more patient and loving soul within us."
