It’s been seven years since her husband died, but Helen Crouch is doing just fine. She’s selling her jams and canned goods at the bakery and making a tidy living. But her whole world goes topsy-turvy when a new family moves to town. Gabriel Gless has brought his children to Bliss Creek to escape the worldly influences in Indiana. Helen and Gabriel have so much in common—the loss of their beloved spouses, the experience of raising their families alone, their rock-solid faith—so why can’t they seem to speak without arguing? And that’s not all that’s going on in Bliss Creek this summer. In the middle of a punishing drought, the community is faced with the decision to uproot their families and establish a new settlement. As families struggle to say goodbye, each one must find the faith to follow the Lord’s direction.

Two families struggle with issues which will either tear them apart or bring them together. Even though the circumstances are very different, the love and reconciliation that happens in and through the families is something we can learn to recreate.

As humanity continues to struggle with their self-identity Book Two of The Human Case for Mistaken Identity Series, Self-Love: The Journey Home, continues to explore and assist us in reclaiming our authentic self-identity by returning us to a state of unconditional self-love. It guides us through the fundamentals of self-love - radical honesty, acknowledgement and self-knowledge, radical self-acceptance, self-trust, and self-forgiveness - their meaning and tangible application in our lives. It explores how our human social conditioning developed our inner child wounds and self-perceptions and how these have continued to play out in our adult lives. It further teaches us about patterns and how to use these as a teaching tool and prompt to healing. Leda leads us into understanding that we carry the wisdom of innately loving ourselves from our spiritual origin but through human ego and life we have forgotten. She walks us back home to that love as it was intended and is.
