When We Turned 50 Ava Grace

When you met us, you formed opinions - and that's okay. From all outward appearances, we were living the good life; but, like so many of you, we had a family secret. As young adults, we make plans. As mature adults, we look back and ask the question: "How did we get here?" Sometimes we forget that during life's journey "we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places" (Ephesians 6:12). We try to navigate the challenges of life on our own. When our efforts are not successful, we may fall to a place of helplessness and hopelessness. In that place, God can show you that He restores. This book is for those of us who have suffered and continue to suffer from the behavior of an addict and our response to that behavior. This book is especially for those who thought their beliefs and faith would buffer them from the difficult challenges that this type of life would bring and is a reminder to us all that it is possible to move forward and mature into flourishing human beings despite difficult circumstances.
