As a man who aims to live above the norm of what society deems responsible living, I have seen a lot, lived a lot, and learned a lot. Ever since I was young, I've carried a strong desire for families-fathers, mothers, sons, and daughters. I've shared my story with all those I've met, as they shared theirs with me. I've always desired to see those who are separated and isolated from each other coming back together in reconciliation. I've listened to too many painful stories and seen too many tears to ignore the epidemic of broken families that is sweeping the globe, one that is not only hurting individual people but causing so much devastation to our world. This is where my story begins, with hopes of healing and mending broken families. It's a story of separation and a desire to reconcile with the ones I've always loved and cherished, my children. While reconciliation is never easy, we always prioritize the things that are most important to us. We all desire to live a life full of purpose and meaning, which starts with happiness in our own homes. When homes are broken, lives get shattered. Picking up the pieces to put them back together is a difficult challenge to say the very least. Yet it can come with a lifetime of rewards for you and all others involved. Please know that it's never too late to start fresh and try again, no matter how much time you have lost out on with the very ones you love and miss. Our families are counting on us! "Donald T. Hardison II doesn't write to impress-he writes to heal. And in doing so, he helps others to heal too. This book is highly recommended for fans of emotionally honest memoirs and faith-driven narratives. It is a powerful testament to faith, love, and hope." -Outstanding Creator Awards
