Opis

Like LA Long's previous two books, "Unwanted in Life, Embraced in Death" seamlessly blends fact and fiction into a harrowing and emotional narrative. This effort is based on the life of Neil Washington, a man abandoned as an infant. As he grows, it seems that life is choosing to stand in his way at every turn-in the old foster mother who takes him in and disciplines with a firm hand, and in the way social workers suddenly move him into a boys' ranch without explanation or warning. Many people would crumble under the oppression and overwhelming feelings of not being wanted in life, but Neil instead stands up taller and becomes emotionally stronger. Throughout all of his experiences, he keeps his faith and focuses on God. This strength leads him to vow to work hard and make a good life for himself.

What happens to Neil is dramatic and compelling, but what Neil "makes" happen is truly remarkable. Find out what it looks like for a man to never give up on himself or his God, and be inspired to do the same in your own life.
