Description
A dramatic tale of pain and healing, this tells of the gripping life of an abused child and his road to peace. Mark Edwards was a young boy who came close to ending his life after being abandoned by his parents and spending most of his childhood in foster homes. The story relates Mark’s journey into adolescence, the rebellion and escapades in the children’s home, his attempts to cut his wrists and how he contemplated hurling himself under a train. His emotional breakdown resulted in psychiatric care.
The faith and love shown by an elderly pastor set Mark on the road to recovery; see the remarkable transformation from psychiatric patient to father, husband and priest.
