A little girl who cannot swim falls unseen and unheard off a large boat into the murky water of a deep lake. On the opposite end of the boat, her mother is suddenly infused with the knowledge of her daughter's accident, and rushes to the precise location. There, all she can see is the child's tiny hand sticking out of the dirty water. In another heartbeat the child would have simply vanished completely. But because of the mother's sudden flash of insight, she is able to arrive in the nick of time to rescue her precious child--but what was the source of the insight? Ten-year-old Teddy Boy is choking on a piece of meat gristle lodged in his throat. Yet his mother--who at the time had never even heard of the Heimlich maneuver--nevertheless performs this very procedure masterfully. And in so doing, she saves her son's life--but how did she possess such knowledge and skill? These are two of many such incidents in the motherhood of Bonnie Bachman, author of From the Beginning of Always: One Woman's Spiritual Odyssey Through Motherhood. In her illuminating true account spanning twenty-five years, the author attributes the answer to all the "whats and hows" in rearing her five children to the presence of God and the power of prayer throughout her motherhood. Her narrative is alternately funny, sad, joyful, poignant, and inspirational. The common thread weaving all these powerful elements together is Ms. Bachman's deep, unbounded faith in God. This is a captivating and timeless story about a real mother, real children, and real life. But above all, it is a story of enduring love and ultimate triumph.
