Dependence Day

by Heidi Paulson

In 2002, Ladd Paulson was a healthy, dedicated motorcycle police officer who enforced the law and protected the innocent. One night on patrol, a pickup truck going more than fifty miles per hour broadsided Ladd. Ladd was thrown onto the hood, and within seconds, the pickup crashed into a light pole. Miraculously, Ladd was not killed. In a nearby car, nurses witnessed the accident and ran to Ladd's rescue. He survived, but the miracles do not stop there. Dependence Day is the true story of Ladd's recovery, written by the woman who loves him most-his wife Heidi, who shares Ladd's dependence upon God the Father. Although Ladd's life is fraught with pain and discomfort due to his injuries, the Paulson family presses on. Their experiences have taught them to depend on God, who is faithful always. They stand firm in their beliefs, because the Lord is in control. When human strength is not enough, Heidi, Ladd, and their children cling to their Creator, because His strength is never-ending.
