Publisher's Synopsis
I'm reminded of a line from a movie that said, "Why are you trying to blend in, when you were born to stand out?" Those words hit me like a ton of bricks. I could not shake them for months; they touched the very core of my being. That phrase kept resonating like a constant nightmare...it just would not go away. (Think about that statement for a moment.)
So many of us have spent our lives trying to 'blend' into a place for which we were not intended. Hiding not only from what we've been called to do, but who we truly are! We can trace this struggle as far back as our childhood and well into our adult lives, still with the questions remaining, "Who am I and why am I here? Where do I fit? Why and how have I survived so much in my lifetime?"
We travel through time trying to find our place in this world of complexity, desperately wanting to make sense out of life along with our constant pursuit of dreams that may or may not come to pass. We also face the drama of broken relationships and heartaches and for most, that seems to be an acceptable way of life. When we take a stroll down life's boardwalk, it leaves us scratching our heads in awe. With furrowed brow we ask the questions: How did I get here? What was I thinking? When will this end? Where did I drop the ball? Why didn't I see that coming? How? What? When? Where? Why? The onslaught of questions seems to have no end, rhyme or reason. Ahh, but there is an end...an unexpected end!
I wrote this book because those were my questions, as well as the questions of so many other people I know - male and female. I was on a quest to discover Debra's true identity. I needed to know the light I saw at the end of the tunnel was indeed a light of hope and not the light of yet another oncoming train...
