Patience and Perseverance is a deeply emotional story of family, survival, buried secrets, and the enduring strength of the human spirit.
When Paige learns that the father who raised her is not her biological father, she is forced to reconsider everything she thought she knew about her family. During a visit with her mother, Dee, long-hidden truths begin to emerge one revelation leading to another.
Paige discovers that her mother endured poverty, abandonment, abuse, sexual violence, difficult relationships, adoption, and painful losses long before Paige was born.
Dee's childhood was marked by the hardships of the Great Depression, separation from her mother, life in an orphanage, and the struggle to keep siblings together. The story later follows her journey into adulthood, where traumatic experiences continue to shape her relationships and choices. Yet, amid suffering, she also finds love, family, friendship, faith, and opportunities to rebuild her life.
At the heart of the book is the relationship between a mother and daughter. As Dee finally shares the secrets she has carried for decades, Paige must learn to look beyond the choices of her mother and understand the circumstances, fears, and pain that shaped them. Their conversations become a journey toward truth, forgiveness, compassion, and healing.
Spanning generations and moving through significant periods of American history, Patience and Perseverance explores how trauma can echo across a family and how courage, understanding, and love can help break that cycle.
