Prodigals and Those Who Love Them

Throughout the writing of this book, Mrs. Graham kept in mind both the hurt and disappointment the one who wanders feels and the confusion and fear of the one who waits. To capture both sides, she recounted stories about five prodigals, interlacing them with the stories of those who loved them. Mrs. Graham also included her own poems and diary entries written during the prodigal years of her two sons, as well as hymns and Bible verses that brought her solace. The foreword and one of the chapters are written by the eldest Graham daughter, Gigi Graham Foreman, who is also a mother of a prodigal.
