My work, from working with families, and my personal experience from raising five children, has given me a big-picture view of the pain parents feel while taking care of their ill child, and the courage these parents put forth while feeling helpless and hopeless from not knowing what to do or how to best assist their child. I share my passion for gift and understanding with these parents. It is my hope that parents, after reading this book with their child, (ren) or alone, can have renewed sense of purpose and energy. It is character-driven, depend on good characters when facing challenging situations. Focus on the matters of the heart. In today's society where there are less tolerance and much hatred, there is need to celebrate our differences, especially when it has to do with behaviours, illness, and deformation that we have no control over. Collectively, the community can help the individuals and their families in their struggles just to get to their normal. It encourages sharing love and kindness even amongst people who would not normally gravitate toward one another. Encourages increase self -esteem and family bonding Listen to what others are saying: "This book to evoke positive feelings of discovery, belonging, transformation, dealing with adversity." Linder-RI " It creates a lot of reflection, and helps in exploring new ideas while cultivating relationships" Susan-Tx " thoughtfully condensed but easy to read" Mary -Scituate RI Get your copy, get one give one to displaced families.… (plus d'informations)

“You’re going to a lot of places where they don’t value human life like we do.” That was the reaction Gregg A. Granger received when sharing with other friends and relatives, his plans to sail around the world with his wife, two teenage daughters, and five-year-old son.

Prior to their departure, the Grangers’ sailing experience was limited to one week aboard a charter in Florida, and a sixteen-foot Hobie Cat at their Gun Lake, Michigan, home.

The journey was about travel and culture, but more about relationships. Relationships with their creator, with each other, with people on similar journeys,and with others in the thirty-eight countries the Grangers visited during their four and a half years abroad.

Learning to sail was the least of the obstacles they faced as they traveled headlong into places where they struggled through preconceptions and prejudices to discover how strong and how wrong their preconceptions were.

Time abroad also afforded the Grangers a view of America from a different and not always popular perspective.

The impact of malaria, broken bones, storms and other struggles was a small price to pay for the personal and family growth they experienced; that same impact was dwarfed by the Created world and goodness the Granger family witnessed.
