Book Cover & Preview Text
It seemed like forever, but finally the paperwork was done. "Come into the office for a minute, Sarah. I need to talk to you."
"Is something wrong?" "No, but I need to explain something to you."
"Okay." Sarah sat down next to Mrs. Hampton with quizzical eyes.
"Sarah, Brianna smiles all the time and she giggles when you talk to her, but she cannot talk." "Why not?" asked Sarah. "Can't she hear?" "Oh yes, she can hear and she used to talk all the time, but something happened in her family." "What happened Mrs. Hampton?" "Her mother died and she thinks it's her fault. She went away and didn't come home and Brianna hasn't spoken since."
"How did her mother die?" "She had a blood infection that took over her body, and one day her heart just stopped beating." "That's so sad. Brianna is only three. Why does she think it's her fault?"
"I don't, Sarah, but she really misses her mommy." "Maybe I could help her." "That's just what I was hoping you would say! She really needs a special friend right now."

About the Book
Faith was born and raised in South Weymouth, Massachusetts. After many years of psychological and emotional abuse, both at home and at school, and not being allowed to talk about it, she began writing her thoughts down on paper. Eventually these thoughts turned into poems and stories of hope for children. Faith never got the help she needed as a child, so she decided to write stories that would help them understand that they’re not alone, and somewhere out there, someone is waiting to help.
His name is Jesus.
Faith still resides in Weymouth with her calico cat, Milo, and attends Community Baptist Church in East Weymouth, where she is very active.
About the Author
These stories were written by a child whose heart had been broken in several pieces. After open-heart surgery by a loving heavenly Father and a recovery that continues on a daily basis, the author felt the need to meet children where they are, using images they can relate to in hopes of preventing more broken hearts. Each story represents a conflict and a resolution the child has to think about.
The animals and children in each story have to learn some kind of lesson that involves love and trust.
Finally, there is a letter at the end to the parents, to help them understand that there is a way to help their children through the struggles of life, showing them that they don’t have to do this alone. Jesus will be with them every step of the way.
