A Place Called Blessing: Where Hurting Ends and Love Begins tells the story of a little boy who grows up without parents and no place to call home. This story draws you in making the reader feel that you are that little boy just trying to make a way. It tells the tale of foster care woes and the lack of stableness within his life. It is a book that breaks your heart as tragedy after tragedy strikes this boy. Miraculously he is led to some people who don’t care how “closed” he is, who continually reach out to him, even when he rejects them time and time again. It is about a family that is brought together through trials and hurts of life. It is a story of determination, courage and meaning. The ending is not at all what the reader expects, in fact it will probably make most cry. From the outside, many may look like they have it all together, but underneath they are hurting individuals with similar real-life situations. It is quite a fulfilling book that makes the reader want to seek out those who are hurting to offer a place called blessing. For it is at that place of blessing where healing may be found.
