Publisher's Summary
In 1991, 21-year-old Sarah, the recently divorced mother to two-year-old Hayley, moved from the dusty small town of Farmington, New Mexico, to the bustling city of Houston, Texas, with dreams of a better life. A year later, she was swept off her feet by Greg Swindell, an established major league baseball player who had just signed a lucrative contract with the Houston Astros and was quickly becoming the talk of the city. Six weeks after their first date, Greg asked Sarah to quit her job as a hairdresser and marry him during spring training in Florida.
Over the next several years, Sarah's Cinderella story continued with the addition of three more children, a lifestyle only a few ever dream of living and a love story even fewer ever experience.That is until 2002, when her picture-perfect life came to a gut-wrenching halt and Sarah was faced with more pain than she ever thought possible. For almost a decade, the puzzle pieces would cease to align due to an avalanche of events; a devastating autism diagnosis, a painful affair, multiple marriages, multiple divorces, and her children's own personal struggles with self-harm, eating disorders, and attempted suicide.
If you have ever felt lost, betrayed, or heartbroken, this story will inspire you to never give up on finding true joy and happiness again. It will prove there is no such thing as the "perfect family" and that difficult times can actually make you stronger than you ever dreamed possible.
