The acts of one generation affect the next-and the next-in a seemingly endless cycle, often with bitter results. Breaking the pattern requires a special individual-one willing to see past pain and tragedy and draw a fragmented, dysfunctional family together.
Deborah knew and loved just such a person. They endured the same childhood neglect, unaware they were part of a pattern of behavior stretching back to their immigrant grandparents, who had fled to America and planted the seeds of family tragedy even as they sought a better life.
He was a grandson, a son, and a brother. He was also a cousin and a nephew who would never become a husband or father. Blessed with an uncanny ability to bridge the emotional gulfs within his family, he gently healed the scars of generational tragedy. Even his death served to strengthen rather than fracture the bonds he had built.
Nurture the Children is the heart-achingly uplifting story of Deborah's family and the remarkable individual who saved it from a further generation of childhood pain. The mistakes of the past can mar the future-but only if we let them continue from one generation to the next.
