Synopsis

Thousands of children and teenagers in the United States are growing up in homes where one or both biological parents are missing in action. The results of absent parents are far-reaching and truly devastating for the future of our homes and our families. Myama Myowne knows this fact all too well. She's lived it. She's experienced the impact. And she has a testimony that she wants to share. The truth of not having her father around when she needed him was painful. But God had other plans for her future. It included giving her the opportunity to see Him as the Father she never had and also gave her the ability to see the substitute father figures that He brought into her life at critical times in her development as the "fathers" she needed as well. The book you hold in your hands tells the story of what happens when God intervenes and changes the future. It not only tells Myama's story. It also shows the important role we all play in changing the present realities of many youth that need the love of one or both parents that may be missing from their lives. This much-needed book is meant to make a difference in the climate of our families, neighborhoods, and cities.
