Tattered Soul - Paperback

by Janet C. Booth (Author)

This book is a fictionalized account of one man's journey through the trials of life and the redeeming power of love and peace. Just as every droplet of water, or intricately designed snowflake drifts to earth unique in its own making, we each carry our own purpose and blueprint to bring to this world. Imagine feeling emotionally lost, long estranged from family and friends, then being witness to others celebrating the Christmas and holiday season all the while ignoring the meaning behind the giving of gifts. This book invites the unfolding of many treasures as it weaves its unique tale into a magical story where love can make the difference. It is a story to share with people of all cultures and any faith for it is truly a story of hope.
