This book captures how Ruth learned to walk through the door to freedom using God's Word, after forty-five years of horrific abuse. She writes with such a vulnerable honesty and shares the Word in such a deeply personal way that since it was first published in 1998, countless men and women from across the nations have found their own path to freedom through reading it. Healing became possible in places of devastating emotional pain that they had been convinced could never change. Young and old have experienced the Father as a kind, loving Dad. For many it's an encounter with the first real Father they've ever known.
