As I wrote my first book Don't Forget Daddy, I thought I was writing a book for children. Dealing with an issue in story format is called bibliotherapy and is very effective. Being a special education teacher, my heart is with helping children overcome problems they face everyday. Therefore, I set out to write a book about a little girl who must accept a new step-father. As with all of my books, it was bathed in prayer.
I have been surprised at how many adults have written asking to read the book because they faced the same issue as a child. It seems that hurts in childhood become scars in adulthood.
If you dealt with the problem as a child, I hope you will not dismiss this book as "for children only". It is my prayer that God uses each one of my books to be a blessing to those who need it and a testimony to Him.
