What If I Stay?

by Anne Gehman
$10.95

 

"I wish you wouldn't have married me." Amara snatched one of Garrett's hankies and blew her nose. "This isn't the marriage you signed up for - a wife who can barely get housework done and has a babysitter on call for times I can't cope." She flopped onto the edge of the bed, letting go of the tears she'd bottled all day.

 

Unwanted by her mother, Amara had been shuttled from one foster home to another as a child. Harsh treatment and rejection scarred her heart and made friendships difficult. Blessed with a caring husband and two delightful children, Amara wanted to be fine but knew she wasn't. Then a letter arrived from a man claiming to be her father.

 

What If I Stay? is a fictional story of finding security in God's love, overcoming a victim mentality, and realizing that running from our hurts doesn't help. It shows the power of forgiveness, friendship, and hope in helping us deal with suffering and devastation.
