Lord, Did You Cry with Me When Mommy Hit Me?

Raised in fear by an emotionally cold and alcoholic father and frequently thrown into the darkness of a windowless cellar with, at best, only a rat for company by a physically abusive mother, Nancy spent a loveless childhood, searching for God and wondering why He did not intervene in moments when she felt lost and abandoned--until her niece is born. A small baby brings light and love into the dark home, and from that point on, hope never leaves Nancy, who, with the passage into adulthood eventually gets to meet the God whose comforting presence she had sensed as a child in her black prison.
