It narrates the fall into apostasy, the consequences of turning his back on God, and the long journey back to faith and forgiveness.\u003cbr\u003eThis is a case study in human suffering and how it can be understood through a Christian lens.\u003cbr\u003eIt also uncovers a kind of abuse the author was not aware of having suffered before writing the book: socio-cultural abuse.\u003cbr\u003eThe boy's mother, an English university student falls in love with a Spanish man while on a summer course in France. From that moment on, her life becomes a nightmare of abuse. This story is told from the point of view of her eldest child, the writer, who tries to answer many of the questions he has had all his life. For example: Why didn't she leave her abuser? How do we understand the undeserved pain suffered by children? Is it possible to cure the past? What is the spiritual path that leads us to peace and forgiveness? Writing this autobiography gives the author the opportunity to connect with his past, to face the events of abuse suffered in childhood, and to try and understand his own parents with the maturity of an adult.\u003cbr\u003eThe reader is warned that reading about real cases of domestic abuse has the potential to cause distress.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Felix Chivite-Matthews\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9798269196893\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Independently Published\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 10\/10\/2025\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 520\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.31lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.50h x 5.50w x 1.16d","brand":"Felix Chivite-Matthews","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":50664547123455,"sku":"9798269196893","price":21.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/sweet-companions-felix-chivite-matthews-9798269196893","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
