"Sharing our stories out loud helped me and helped others. It got easier as I began to tell some of what had happened to us. I kept many journals and wrote about my feelings good and bad because I never wanted Graham to think he was difficult for us to care for. I wanted him to know he was loved unconditionally." - Barbara Huntress Tresness Praise for Beyond a Charmed Life, A Mother's Unconditional Love "Impressively written with candor, wit, insight, and intimacy, "Beyond a Charmed Life: A Mother's Unconditional Love" is as inspired and inspiring as it is thoughtful and thought-provoking.
