"Mark has a background of considerable emotional and maternal deprivation, he has written most movingly about it."
John Pritchard, Arch Deacon of Canterbury

Variously described as "gripping" and "inspiring" this is a dramatic tale of pain and healing. Mark Edwards was a young boy who came close to ending his life after being abandoned by his parents and spending most of his early childhood in foster homes. The story tells of 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 feelings of rejection led to an emotional breakdown, which results in psychiatric care.

The faith and love shown by an elderly pastor set Mark on the road to recovery; the reader sees the remarkable transformation from psychiatric patient to father, husband and priest.

This is a book with great potential for ministering to people with disturbed backgrounds, those with a children's home background and those trying to lose unwanted memories.
