Divided in Despair - When a Father Comes Out (Paperback)

A WOMAN'S DESPERATE SEARCH FOR A FATHER'S LOVE... What really happens to the children when a man with a family suddenly announces his homosexuality? Divided in Despair reveals the heartbreaking experience of one such family. More than anything else, Marie Vivian longed for her father's love and approval, but her quest for a normal, loving relationship with her father became futile when he declared his new lifestyle and abandoned the traditional values he had instilled in his five children. Marie's journey from dark despair to shining hope leads through unimaginable confusion, trauma, and tragedy. You will weep with her as she struggles with bulimia, substance abuse, strip clubs, rape, rejection, spousal abuse, and the terrifying helplessness of insanity. You will rejoice with her as she rediscovers God's unfailing love and grace, and through His power rebuilds her life on the Rock and finds fulfillment in the love of the Father who never fails His children.
