Synopsis "Forever Thirteen: A Family Tragedy and a Young Man's Struggle to Recover (Faith, Hope & Love) (in English)"
Have you ever wondered who you are? Or how you became who you are? Or what is it that defines you as a person and, more specifically, what were some of those defining moments in your life?Forever Thirteen documents a Sunday morning newspaper headline that read, "Boy Scout Camper, 13, Drowns as Raft Sinks." This is the true story of a family tragedy as recounted by the nearly twelve-year-old brother who writes this story some years later. It is a story of a mother's nervous breakdown and a father's inability to provide comfort to his children at this critical period. It is a firsthand account of unintentional abandonment, suffering, sadness, detachment, guilt, and recovery. As a youth, the author struggled through this experience, maintaining his faith in God and continuing to hope and pray for the rebuilding of his family, while maintaining love for those who were letting him down.This is a story that can help others in their personal journeys through those tragedies that we all eventually face.
