Abandonment to Acceptance: A Hero's Journey to Self-Love (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781922969217)

Fran's entrance into this world was far from a fairytale - in fact - just a few hours into this thing called "life", his place on Earth was under heavy consideration. As his future tipped in the balance of strangers, the authorities made a decision to remove Fran from his family, that one day I'd get to finally meet.

For decades, Fran asked questions that no adopted child should ever have to ask (but, mostly, always will):

"Why did they abandon me?"

"Did they not want me?"

"Am I simply too hard to love?"

Unwanted, abandoned and rejected, Fran didn't know his destiny, that was until his "parents" decided that Fran's life was to be raised by them. As Fran navigated what it meant to be truly accepted, in a rejection cycle not meant for him, he discovered through his own experiences of parenthood and persistence, that second chances are for the taking, when people need them the most.

This deeply provocative, uplifting and beautifully raw memoir, "Abandonment to Acceptance: A Hero's Journey to Self-Love", explores how self-love and acceptance begins from within your heart and mind.
