A mother's love should welcome every child entering this world. For Andrea Skeeter, shame instead of joy greeted her at birth. Skeeter's profound and harrowing story, while unfamiliar to persons who may have experienced the opposite, will captivate readers nonetheless as they empathize with her struggles and rejoice in her deliverance from the crushing familial lies, deceit, and treachery that sought to destroy her infancy, childhood, and adolescence. For readers who recognize their own harsh and tragic beginnings as all too similar to Skeeter's, hope will be born anew from what can be described as nothing less than the mysterious and miraculous light of redemption that visited Andrea in the midnight of her deepest and most precarious suffering.
