Daddy's Deployment - Paperback

by Sharon Graham Smith (Illustrator), Lorin Sanchez Neslony (Author)

Daddy's Deployment is a personal account of the struggles and emotions my family faced during a military deployment and how we got through it---prayer and God! Military families face many challenges when a family member goes away on a deployment, and it is especially tough on children. My kids felt happy, lonely, sad, scared, and many other emotions when their daddy deployed. It was especially tough for my son Jake, diagnosed with Asperger's Syndrome, to process all of the emotions he was going through. We sat down to draw pictures and talk about how God would help him through the deployment. That's how this book came to life! God offers us hope, strength, love, and a rainbow after the storms we face. He has always been faithful to my family, and I know he will always be faithful to yours.
