Enduring Hope: A Dismissed Mother's Love Compels Her to Never Give Up

Kelli lives on a farm in the Midwest with her six children and her husband, Guthrie. Kelli becomes frightened and perplexed when she falls very ill, and Guthrie's behavior becomes irrational and very unkind. Guthrie succeeds to convince many that Kelli is crazy and dangerous. He uses the legal system, the police, and social services in his campaign to degrade Kelli and gain control of their children. He is able to fool many professionals with his lies.

The author and her children have lived a train wreck of emotional abuse that caused one of her sons to take his own life, and the remaining living children to become damaged to varying degrees and to become alienated from her for years. She has struggled with depression and doubt, yet has not only survived but thrived with the ability to remain hopeful because of her faith in a loving God.
