This true story chronicles a mother's journey of trials and doubts, faith and triumph, through the rocky terrain of her son's life with Asperger syndrome, bipolar disorder, depression, and addiction. The reader has a mom's-eye view of the challenges she and her family face as they navigate through the public school system, private rehab programs, the Texas justice system, and normal life as evangelical Christians with a child who doesn't seem to "fit the mold" of expectation in any given system, let alone in his own mother's idea of what her first son would be like. While frightening and painful at times, this is one mother's story of faith and surrender in the face of insurmountable obstacles and of God's presence and faithfulness over decades of time. This ongoing story is full of victory, but more important than any single outcome is the fruit of peace and joy that was discovered along the way as the author chose to offer up all outcomes to the only One who loves better than a mother, whose signature moves are redemption, healing, and rescue.
