Sunshine Ranch is a refuge.īenedict is the main character, and he is introduced immediately. Their capacity to love is amazing, and they have plenty for each of their charges. They carefully guide the group of young people towards faith, and help them to cope with new situations and emotions. David and Martha Credence, (the foster parents) have a wonderful ability to understand these kids and assist them as they heal from their painful pasts. Gaouette presented each child as unique, with his or her own defenses and coping mechanisms. A lovable and diverse bunch of foster children and the couple who take them into their home. I can't imagine what it must be like to be a foster child, especially one who is moved from place to place. Coming in a closely behind were the ideas that God waits - and that where there is life, there is hope. For me, the most important was that faith is the only sure antidote for anxiety. In addition to a delightful read, there are a few uplifting messages revealed in these pages. It was an absolute pleasure to immerse myself in this story. I usually have a pile of serious tomes stacked up for my free reading time, and most are non-fiction titles.

The characters are well developed and likable, which made me want to see how things turned out for them. I will freely admit - even though this book is written for teenagers, I was taken in fairly quickly. Here I am, reading a few chapters during my down time at the water park: The title is The Destiny of Sunshine Ranch. I just finished reading this novel, written for young adults, by T.M. A Story About a Catholic Couple, and Their Ministry to Young Foster Children.Thanks for any guidance or help you can give me.The Destiny of Sunshine Ranch a Novel by T. I could not figure out how to delete the Tolkien and Lewis books myself. However, many of the other books listed are by obscure authors who do need a light shone upon them to be noticed in order to be read. Everyone who reads knows that those authors' books are appropriate for Christian/Catholic teens, and they don't need any attention from this list. I updated the list description to include: "This list is intended to call attention to books by contemporary authors that might otherwise go unnoticed, not big-name authors or big-house publishers." I'd like to remove the books by Tolkien and C.S. Perhaps you can help me with removing some books from my list.
