A family is supposed to protect and nurture, not leave teens feeling shattered or alone. The author has seen the wounds that result when a family is torn apart, but she has also seen the miracle of God's healing power. In this book, she offers compassionate guidance for teens living in troubled families and covers such topics as divorce, adoption, abuse, addiction and death. Using true, modern-day stories - as well as examples of messed-up families from the Bible - she shows that with God, there is hope for healing in even the worst situations.
