Description
On a cold November night in 1945, only weeks after her third birthday, Jessie awoke to the dank smells of a worn down hotel room and startled at the choking, unrestrained sobs piercing the air from the broken heart of her six year old sister. The two little girls were terrified to realize their mother was gone and to know they were now very much alone in that dreary room. A stab of indignant pain might provoke you to ask how this could happen. Would the blot of their misfortune relegate the children to a life of inevitable ruin, or would they somehow rise above their circumstances and overcome? This is the story of Jessie. It is a love story, and while the story comes to you in the form of fiction, it is based in events which are incredibly true.
Abandoned, haunted and affected by a need for belonging, Jessie invites you to come with her and she will show you what happened. She knows the story well. She will take you back to where she first tasted fear; to the time and place where her journey in search of belonging begins. She will let you touch her scars and shed a tear with her, but then, because Jessie is also a child of courage and conviction, she will want you to go forward with her and feel the hope of her victories. She will tell you of a life acquainted with the kind of inequities from which despair often finds its root, but then she will go on to tell you a story of the kind of love from which dreams and fairytales are made. Above all, she will want you to see and understand how God walked this journey with her. To show you how her life turned from a search for belonging, into an incredible love story, Jessie thought it best to take you back to the beginning when the world was at war...
