Ashley Asher had a father she never knew, but a stepfather she wished she didn't know! Her mom loved her new husband to the point that she denied his emotional and sexual abuse upon her own daughter. Not unusual, just very sad!
Left in desperation and guilt, Ashley found a confidant in her teacher. As by law, her teacher reported the abuse. Let the healing begin!
Ashley was reunited with her father and a stepmother who had the courage to defend not only her new daughter but a whole classroom of students who struggled with real life issues. A remarkable woman in her own right, she too had suffered in life, making her the perfect role model to peak discussions and trust in the classroom.
It was the perfect setting for the healing process to take place on so many levels, but when the parents found out that their little town was inundated with real life, they wanted to sweep it under the rug, and would stop only short of a mob lynching.
Real and poignant, COURAGE IN PATIENCE takes a stand on injustices and abuse of every nature. No one is safe from life and this beautifully written book addresses it with honesty and the kind of consideration worthy of intense discussion and thought. In her writing, Ms. Fehlbaum addresses the issues with realness and optimism refusing to deny the actual possibilities of abuse and its consequences, at the same time giving hope to the victims of such crimes.
A book that will etch its words on the reader's heart and mind. Amazing!!!
