Sherlyn Powell opens up about her love and devotion to her family and the overwhelming repercussion when communication breaks down. Heartbroken and distraught she learns to release her prayer and realize with faith God would reunite her family.

Sherlyn Powell shares a brief chapter out of her life. Some of her most joyful but sometimes poignant moments are revealed. She opens up about her tearful journey and the test of faith that is synonymous with being a mother. Through her experiences she shares that lack of communication can tear a family apart and reminds us that from infancy to teenager the commitment to be a loving family doesn't end there. While no family is perfect faith in God should remain in the forefront of our lives. She sprinkles quotes from the Bible and ties them into life as she takes a look at the stages and fantasies of being granted a gift called Mother.

She asks the question, "Who else on this earth has your back when you need them but family?"



Excerpt

"Each morning that I opened my eyes, I grew a little weaker and alot more introverted. There were times that I would not answer the telephone because I did not want to let anyone hear the stress in my voice. I struggled to smile, laugh or speak when I went out. I spoke when I was forced to but inside I felt the real me was slipping away. I cried to God - I can't do this. I can't." Yet because I know the power of prayer, I could and I did. And I know with God, all things are possible.
