Author and publisher

The writer of this book, Rochelle O'Neal Thorpe , who is a native of Oklahoma City, enjoyed writing this story about her daughter - who has a vivid imagination and kept her busy as a mom creating adventure after adventure.

Often it's said that men suffer from a Peter Pan Syndrome... "I'll never grow up," Clearly having a daughter brings out the girl in any woman who engages children in play.

The author discovered that play was a wonderful way to heal her own broken heart and to inspire her daughter's maturity.

To Parents:

Imagine being twenty-something, having just weaned a baby girl and at the same time living as a Dorm Mother to a 1,000 Japanese women students – a job requiring me to be selfless and demanded that I provide unconditional love, when my husband suddenly leaves me and not only that - takes my toddlers to live with him and his 19 year old girlfriend.

The pain and despair I felt was devastating – a true “God how could you moment” and it took all I had to just survive between the children’s next visit.

When my true Captain Remarkable, the man who owned that belt buckle with the "R" showed up and championed not only me as a person, but wholehearted supported my motherhood.

Need I say - this book is dedicated to him, Richard Francis Thorpe, whose spirit I cherish with all my heart.

Truly there is nothing greater than Love, "who sets the solitary in families”

I wrote this book for parents who may have similar situations, and to encourage them to hold on. To share how children can help you heal.

Without pain and challenges there is no victory or miracles.
