They did not know that their classmate's world had just fallen apart between double science and break time.
In 1968, my dream of becoming a doctor was shattered. I was fifteen years old when I was abruptly pulled from school to train as a nurse. I left no note for my friends. I did not know how to tell them I was gone. I walked out of that office and the tears came hot and fast. At the time, it felt like the end of my life.
Decades later, I look back and see something else entirely. I see a divine redirection. That profound loss of a chosen future became the very path God used to shape me. I wept in hospital corridors, but I also witnessed profound grace. I saw my grandmother face a broken marriage with a strength I could scarcely comprehend.
This book is the story of those years. It is about how God works through circumstances we do not understand. He transforms our deepest disappointments into preparation for a greater purpose. If you are walking through a dark season right now, I want to show you that a closed door is not the end of your story.
