Beskrivelse

"Fear not, for I am with you; be not dismayed, for I am your God; I will strengthen you, I will help you, I will uphold you with my righteous right hand. Behold, all who are incensed against you shall be put to shame and confounded; those who strive against you shall be as nothing and shall perish. You shall seek those who contend with you, but you shall not find them; those who war against you shall be as nothing at all. For I, the Lord your God, hold your right hand; it is I who say to you, "Fear not, I am the one who helps you." Isaiah 41:10-13

Behind Whispering Pines revisits the original version the Amazon bestseller "Finding Gloria". In the rewriting of her incredible testimony Marianne Curtis has added crucial details missed in the first edition, and re-released this book as an act of repentance and personal atonement.

This story of redemption retells the true story of a woman given up at birth and adopted by a family who eventually settles in southern Manitoba. In a raw and riveting way, Behind Whispering Pines exposes the author's upbringing in an abusive home where she was beaten and starved, until she runs away as a teenager. The author reflects on her struggles to find her identity after years of emotional and physical abuse after aging out of Child and Family Services.

Then on the heels of her adoptive mother's death thirty years later, the author discovers her birth family, and her true origins. In this often humbling process, Marianne tries to find love, peace and acceptance in all the wrong places in a brutal cycle that consumes the first half of her life.

While Finding Gloria chronicled the authors rise out of the ashes of abject misery to the point of discovering that everything she grew up believing about herself were lies, Behind Whispering Pines brings God to the table in a way that the first edition completely missed. In the republishing of this story, the author clearly acknowledges where God stepped in to help re-write her story and recreate her future into a Glori-ous life of her own choosing... whatever that may be.
