Coming home to dad
Book Description
When family bonds shatter and a father's rejection cuts deep, where does healing begin? Amanda Pilz invites readers into her deeply personal journey from abandonment to spiritual restoration in this moving memoir of faith and reconciliation.
Growing up in a fractured household, Amanda learned early that survival meant self-reliance. After being separated from her mother at six and placed with an emotionally distant father and harsh stepmother, she discovered that sharing a roof doesn't create a home. Her father's physical presence couldn't bridge the emotional chasm between them, leaving Amanda to navigate childhood largely alone.
The pain deepened when she returned to live with her mother, watching the gulf with her father widen until it seemed insurmountable. By eighteen, his complete disavowal felt like the final blow. Yet it was precisely in this darkness that Amanda began wrestling with profound questions about purpose, identity, and belonging.
As she grappled with her brother's mental illness and her own search for meaning, Amanda found herself on an unexpected spiritual path. Her quest for answers led to a transformative encounter with divine love that redefined her understanding of fatherhood itself. Through this powerful spiritual awakening, she discovered that true healing was possible and that home could be found in the most surprising places.
This honest exploration of family wounds and spiritual recovery offers hope to anyone seeking restoration from deep relational pain.
