Waiting for a Miracle

About the Book

From the moment of conception Vanessa Parker’s life was already set in stride. Not for professional objectives, but for spiritual awareness. Molded by her mother Vanessa is raised to be a good little church girl and a loyal daughter, but one dreadful evening changed her life forever. Abandoned by the family she believed truly loved her, Vanessa finds herself drifting with the falling snow as she follows a stranger into a world that she never imagined she’d be a part of. The Pastor at her local church preaches upon the theme “I am what God says I am”. Vanessa tries to hold strong to her faith, but no matter how she attempts to free herself from the choice she made the hurt has already transformed how she perceives herself as an individual and a Christian. Trials in life gave her reasons to question her beliefs and wonder if God really is a forgiving God. Can she overcome the guilt that overshadows her and be the person that God created her to be? Only time will tell. Waiting for a Miracle shares the poignant tale of a young woman’s journey to self-acceptance after the events of one evening consume her family, her self-esteem, and her love of Christ.
