Joey (or Joanna as we learned to know her) is a personal friend of ours and a true blessing. She had a difficult childhood of abuse and neglect, but today she is a beautiful testimony of how any life surrendered to God can be changed and used for His glory.
The book will be especially meaningful to anyone who is adopted, has adopted a child, or
does foster care. Also anyone who has suffered abuse. It is a
powerful story!
Publisher's Summary:
Joey lied, swore, and fought. She smoked in secret and shoplifted when
she had half a chance. And she was only a child. Her mother was too sick
to notice. Her father too busy to mind. But behind the tough shell,
Joey’s heart ached and cried out for help. A loving God, already working
in her life, heard and answered her cry. Joey’s Story is the
true, heart-wrenching account of Joanna Heger’s childhood and youth.
Though told discreetly, it is not a children’s book.
