A tender story about suffering redeemed and relationships restored.This is the honest and authentic story of one family as they walk through crisis. While facing normal parenting challenges with teenagers, (although in a somewhat unusual setting living overseas), their daughter Anna struggled through years of depression and of questioning both her sexuality and gender identity. Anna's mom, Rachel, invites you to grab a cup of coffee and sit with her as she shares the heartache and confusion of those years, what they learned, and how everyone not only survived, but also thrived. Acknowledging that mental health and LGBTQ are both topics not always handled well within traditional faith communities, Rachel addresses them with tenderness, honesty, and respect while sharing her own faith struggles throughout. Anna-who spent four years as Danny and one year as Daniel before reclaiming her childhood identity-shares powerfully in her own voice in each chapter, looking back with Memories & Insights. Ultimately, Rachel shares how they kept Anna alive and brought their whole family through darkness and pain back to their joy by remaining calm and learning the importance of something so simple, yet often so hard-loving Anna.
