In Search of Dignity

I had been trying to fit into life after war - often making a pretty good mess of things - and was rejected at every attempt. What did Clara expect from me? Could we find a way to rekindle the love we once felt? I wondered. The questions swirled in my head until sun up, but the answers still evaded me. Of all the things I didn't know, however, one truth rang deep: I can't go on living like this.***This is the last night I'll sleep alone, I thought. Tomorrow, I'll be married... to a girl a third my age. It was certainly unusual, but unusual doesn't have to be wrong. Unusual can be beautiful. This is love; an amazing, deep, miraculous love maybe only we ourselves would ever fully understand the power of.***As if someone took blinders off an old horse, my eyes were fully opened to God's Truth. It had been simple enough for a child to understand all along... God moved everything around in my whole life to bring me to this very time and place. Risking life and limb in the first World War, veteran Daniel Johnston returns home to realize he has lost everything precious. With his wife in love with another man and him feeling like a ghost among his children, he is leaving them and setting on a personal quest to fill the void of longing and despair. The only adventure he never considered, however, was falling in love with a woman a third his age as he passed through Harlan County, Kentucky on his way to the Gulf. Little did he know, the angel of the post office, one Anna Beth Atwood with a mysterious story of her own, would not only renew the joy of his natural life but also lead him to the one whose spiritual peace mends every broken soul. Based on true family history and written by the award-winning author of When Dignity Came to Harlan and Teaching Dignity, In Search of Dignity is a heartfelt story of heartbreak and hope, forgiveness and love, second chances and merciful redemption. Join Daniel and Anna Beth and see for yourself how age is no match for love - or God.

The theme of reconciling with life choices occupies much of the story, as gutsy characters seek the interior peace that comes from repentance, forgiveness, and redemption. Good literature should elevate humanity, and the entire Dignity series offers timeless lessons which ignite and hoist the human spirit.- Mary Jo Thayer, best-selling and award-winning author of Close to the SoulA busy writer's lament is that they have no time to read other writers' works. I fall within that realm with the exception of one author, Rebecca Duvall Scott. I'm enthralled with her Dignity series and will drop everything to catch up on this saga. It's 100% binge-worthy!"- Martha Jordan, award-winning author of Let the Rivers Clap Their Hands About the Author Rebecca Duvall Scott is an accomplished author and the recipient of numerous awards. Her first published work and best-selling memoir, Sensational Kids, Sensational Families: Hope for Sensory Processing Differences, chronicles the research, interventions, and mindset shifts that successfully brought her family through her son's SPD diagnosis. While she values her special needs initiative, her roots have always been in Christian historical fiction. In Search of Dignity is based on her great-grandfather's adulthood and a most excellent addition to its forerunners, When Dignity Came to Harlan and Teaching Dignity.

This memoir is a one-stop-shop of insights, and a survival guide for parents and caregivers. Filled with tried-and-true prevention and treatment strategies for SPD, Sensational Kids, Sensational Families is a valuable resource for all special-needs families, including those who cope with or suspect SPD, autism spectrum disorder, Asperger syndrome and ADD/ADHD.

Meet the Scott family. Open Rebecca Duvall Scott's brilliantly crafted book to discover a unique opportunity -- an invitation to join her family on their SPD journey. Meet Jacob, whose SPD diagnosis prompted Rebecca and her husband, Eric, to quickly assemble a team of professionals and support members to help them navigate the unknown of Jacob's sensory differences. As Rebecca rallied others to fight for her son, she became an expert on several interventions that worked for them, including an allergy-free diet, the Wilbarger Protocol, biomedical interventions, interactive listening therapies and Astronaut Training. She credits her son's triumphs to a collaborative treatment approach and positive mindset shifts that saved her son's self-esteem ... and relationships throughout the family. Insights from Occupational Therapist Hannah Ragan As if a mother's perspective isn't enough, this one-of-a-kind book includes perspectives from Hannah Ragan MS, OTR/L, the occupational therapist who supported Jacob through his SPD journey. Mrs. Hannah (as Jacob calls her) helped the Scott family reframe how they saw Jacob's diagnosis through occupational therapy and empowered them with hope. "It's like putting together a puzzle. It looks neat in the box, but to see the cohesive picture you have to dump out all the pieces, sort and organize them, and then put them together. When you first dump them out, it's overwhelming chaos. But, as it comes back together, you can see the picture emerge and when it's finished, it is marvelous." Proven Interventions The Scott family's success story will inspire and empower parents, educators, therapists and doctors to leave no stone unturned in the quest to maximize the strengths and minimize the challenges faced by those with special needs. Rebecca shares candid details about the intervention strategies that helped her son learn how to self-regulate, become more mindful and manage his sensory needs appropriately.

A must read for: -Parents, relatives, spouses, caretakers and friends of a sensational someone -Therapists, teachers, psychologists and professionals with sensational clients and students -Doctors, nurses and medical professionals with sensational patients -Those who personally have been diagnosed with SPD The most important message in this remarkable book?
