Book Description
Take My Children is a story of love that bridges two continents. It is a story of human compassion. It is a story of the courage of parents, who, out of love, ask others to adopt their children and of the parents who say theyll take them. It is also the story of a battle to eradicate age-old prejudices, fears and superstitionsa battle that one woman carried through the halls of Congress to move a nation to open its arms to eight children no other country wanted. These innocent, healthy children hadnt lived long enough to become anyones political enemies. The enemy was ignorance, the children its victims. It all began with a visit from Father Alexander Lee, a priest who served as administrator of a leprosy colony at St. Lazarus Village in Korea. He carried a plea from five of his patients: Take our children and help them to have a better life. This is a story of love, compassion, determination, and courage. It is a book that is real; because thats the way it happened. Marvin Scott, Senior Correspondent, WPIX-TV News, New York

Primal Loss
Author: Leila Miller
Publisher: Lcb Publishing
ISBN: 9780997989311
Category : Adult children of divorced parents
Languages : en
Pages : 326
Book Description
Seventy now-adult children of divorce give their candid and often heart-wrenching answers to eight questions (arranged in eight chapters, by question), including: What were the main effects of your parents' divorce on your life? What do you say to those who claim that "children are resilient" and "children are happy when their parents are happy"? What would you like to tell your parents then and now? What do you want adults in our culture to know about divorce? What role has your faith played in your healing? Their simple and poignant responses are difficult to read and yet not without hope. Most of the contributors--women and men, young and old, single and married--have never spoken of the pain and consequences of their parents' divorce until now. They have often never been asked, and they believe that no one really wants to know. Despite vastly different circumstances and details, the similarities in their testimonies are striking; as the reader will discover, the death of a child's family impacts the human heart in universal ways.
