Marks writes with particular attention to children who have been written off, to parents who are worn down, and to business owners who have lost the drive that first brought them into their work. His aim is to show that a person can recover strength and purpose, and that one life's story can help another. Readers who value faith, personal reflection and encouragement will find plenty to consider.
