Publisher's Synopsis
Lauded by TrueFaced's John Lynch, bestselling author and fellow Atlantan Jeff Foxworthy, bestselling author Andrew Farley and Third Day lead singer Mac Powell, Staying is a memoir of hope, faith and love, but it is full of gritty and authentic moments every parent will find relatable. Author William Sanders recalls, "Sitting in the backseat of a car driven by my abductor, a crazy woman I used to call mom, the six-year-old me pleads for something I had no expectation of getting. Mercy. Sitting beside me is eight-year-old Cindy, my sister, comforter and fellow victim of a plot that would forever shape the course of our lives. She whispers to me that things are going to be okay. I guess in the longest of long runs, she was right. Thirty years later, lying on the floor of my daughter Rachel's room for the millionth night in a row, I again plead for something I am beginning to think I'm not going to get. Mercy. On night one million and one, God whispers to me, everything is going to be okay. He tells me I am The Great Stayer in the lives of Rachel, my daughter Laura and my wife Jane. I have no idea what He means. I need something from Him far greater than a new name. Or so I think."
