Description

Loretta (La-Rue’) Duncan-Fowler strips off fears and uncertainties as she walks back to a darkened past to bring inspiration to readers. In Search of a Father’s Love, her new book released through Xlibris, offers a collection of poems, prose, and short stories that all chronicles one woman’s journey to finding real happiness. Childhood was anything but normal for the author. At the age of five, she found herself begging for her father not to abandon her. The incident only marked the beginning of the many trials she had to face. Sexual molestation, pregnancy, a miscarriage, and incestuous relationships, she finally opened her heart to find the sanctuary that she deserved. In her unending search for her father through abusive husbands and a string of bad relationships, she realizes that the one salvation that she truly needed had always been inside her, within her heart. Through poignantly crafted poems and prose, coupled with Bible verses, La-Rue’ relives in this edifying book how she stepped out from the darkness and moved on to the light and found the Faith to do more than survive, she thrives!
