Summary

Christopher Yuan, the son of Chinese immigrants, discovered at an early age that he was different. He was attracted to other boys. As he grew into adulthood, his mother, Angela, hoped to control the situation. Instead she found that her son and her life were spiraling out of control - and her own personal demons were determined to defeat her.

Years of heartbreak, confusion, and prayer followed before the Yuans found a place of complete surrender, which is God's desire for all families. Their amazing story, told from the perspectives of both mother and son, offers hope for anyone affected by homosexuality.

Excellent Book

Excellent book! Must be made into a Movie! So rich; gospel in a nut shell.

An answer to so many questions so there is hope

My granddaughter recommended this book as she has a transport cousin.
I lloved that the narration was shared by a man and a woman. I must admit to worrying that it would be another 'accept me as I am' story about another gay man as I hear it constantly from my grandson. Not so. This book is tough and it is real.
Probably the hardest prayer a mother can pray is " Lord, do whatever you have to in order to bring my son to you." That's the prayer I'm praying right now.
