Painful Passage, Joyful Journey is the narrative of my personal experiences as viewed through multiple lens: the six-year-old child so violently wretched from a loving family by the murder/suicide of her parents, the little girl who lost her big brother as they were physically and emotionally separated for life, the decade of abuse in the house of a relative, the wounded adult confronting the past in order to have a future, the healed survivor reexamining six-plus decades of lies and betrayals, and in the midst of it all, the constant presence of a loving God.
Author Biography
Susan A. Cooper is a retired professor of literature for children. Orphaned four days after her sixth birthday, she has spent her life relying on God to make sense of her parents' murder/suicide, the decade spent with an abusive relative, the painful passage to healing, and the joyful journey of being married to her husband for fifty-five years. It now seems timely to remind the world that God is ever faithful and present.
