Synopsis

Cindy Seaton felt called as a teenage girl to defend the unborn special needs children of this world...until she gave birth to a special child. She was tested and tried to the point of almost breaking under the weight of autism to see if she really believed what she had once stood for.

In this candid memoir, Cindy details her life leading up to a point where she hurt her own helpless son. She looks back on her childhood, adolescence, and marriage, and tells a story of how she came from the ashes feeling as though she was nothing. God would allow her to suffer for many years, so he could weave threads of love, making a beautiful rug on the dirty floor she knelt on day after day as she cleaned up her grown son’s poop and wept tears of bitterness while cursing at God.

He seemed to sit back and do nothing, watching her suffer as she helplessly tried to take care of her son Kyle, whom doctors said, “the medical community had run out of options for.” What Cindy couldn’t see through her bitterness was that God was carrying her and her son on the days she thought he had abandoned them.

Cindy’s memoir shows readers how God was weaving together a beautiful story of pain and heartache that eventually lead to reaping a harvest of love and a bounty of hope....a Cinderella story.
