This is the story about the trials of a family and the barriers
that can thwart or distort love unless they are overcome.
An unwanted son, raised by a single mother who claimed
the father abandoned them, refused to allow the cruelty of
his mother to ruin his life.
In the confusing times of his life, Rob refers to his favorite
saying: “Sometimes there is sadness in life’s journey, but
there is also a lot of beauty.” He never loses sight of the
beauty.
