Bok av Rebecca Hampl
Connor and Julia Pendergrass have three children?a son who is fifteen, a daughter who is eleven, and a younger son who is developmentally delayed. Wanting nothing more to do with her family, Julia abruptly walks out leaving deep crushing grief behind. Even after almost a year, Connor continues to struggle with incredible self-doubts that come with being a single parent. Is he just being selfish in wanting to move on with his life? As he contemplates how to assuage his children?s devastation and anger of being abandoned by their mother, he knows all too well that things are even more complicated because they are also walking the sometimes painful path of being an adolescent. Unable to sustain the grueling pace of what it takes to keep his family together coupled with the long hours he works for his co-owned Construction Company; he seeks some assistance and hires a woman whom he hasn?t known for very long and his children have never met. Her role is to be in his home and assist with their everyday activities including therapy for his youngest son. Was he rushing head long toward another total disaster? Or would God bless this endeavor and allow their lives; currently devoid of joy and humor to be returned to a state of happiness by giving their sorrow an ending?
