Förlagets beskrivning
Reverend Mothers Daughter is the extraordinary real life story of author Mary Haskett. In her rivetting account, the author experiences racial rejection, abuse and the terrors of war but is lovingly adopted by a compassionate Reverend Mother. Starting in England in 1934, Mary takes the reader on a dramatic journeyfrom the time of her rejection by her birth family and her adoption by her benefactor (the Mother Superior of a nunnery) through years of struggle, abuse and confusion to the joyful life that she lives today. Mary skillfully writes of her experiences and of the people who were part of her lifethose who were very dear to her and those caregivers who abused their authority when she was separated from Reverend Mother by the war, of her many childhood experiences away from her care, the reunion with her at age fourteen and the gradual emergence into adulthood. She tells how she followed Reverend Mothers wishes, reluctantly pursuing a career in nursing, despite her desire to escape the real world through a life in show business. She introduces the reader to Mario, her first love, who swept her into a new world, took her to Paris for their honeymoon, to Italy, to meet his family and eventually to the Bahamas, where they lived with their children. One day her world comes to a crashing halt when Mario leaves her for another woman. Marys poignant search for her birth family, their rejection and eventual acceptance of her, make for a heartrending, dramatic story that will bless every reader. This book reads like a novel and yet it is a real life story and true in every way. Only towards the end of the book does Mary come to an understanding of the love of Jesus for her and embrace it with all her heart. She presents the wonderful message of God's salvation in such a gentle way that all readers those who believe and those who do not yet believe will receive the message with joy and be glad they have read this uplifting book
