We Will Not Lose One Child To Abandonment: Book 11

Book 11 | Fathers Who Leave Shadows

By Dr. Norma Tucker McLauchlin

What happens when a father provides everything except his presence?

Sixteen-year-old Naomi Bennett has a father who provides financially, but his emotional absence leaves wounds that money cannot heal. Behind her quiet strength are unanswered questions, missed moments, and a longing to feel seen, valued, and loved.

When an unexpected incident brings Naomi home in the back of a police car, years of buried emotions begin to surface. A life-changing trip to Edisto with G-Ma, Zoie, and Dre opens the door to family secrets, hidden truths, and the powerful legacy of her grandfather, Samuel Bennett.

As Naomi and her father, James, confront the painful shadows of abandonment, they must discover whether forgiveness, honesty, and love can rebuild what years of emotional distance have broken.

We Will Not Lose One Child to Abandonment: Fathers Who Leave Shadows is a powerful, emotional, and hope-filled novel about fatherhood, family, identity, healing, and second chances.

This unforgettable eleventh installment of the We Will Not Lose One Child™ series reminds readers that abandonment is not always about a parent leaving home. Sometimes, the deepest wounds come from a parent who is physically present but emotionally absent.

Perfect for teens, parents, fathers, educators, mentors, and families navigating the challenges of love, loss, and forgiveness.

*Every child deserves to feel wanted. Every father has the opportunity to leave a legacy of love instead of shadows.

Because no child should have to question whether they matter.
