Daniel: Family of the Lost

by Peter Pactor

If you have ever belonged to a family, or wished you did, or wished you didn't, you should read this book. Family of the Lost is the story of people who were lost in the world in various ways, grew close, and became a family in actuality. How did this happen? Because a family is a compass that guides its members; sometimes well, sometimes poorly. At its best, the family supports and guides its members toward reaching their potential as individuals and as a family. At its worst, it abandons and even drives away its members; meet Kenneth, Jerry, and Chuck, who were homeless teenagers because of abuse and abandonment. This story complete with illustrative anecdotes, shows what people can accomplish and how. It is a story of potential.

About the author

I have spent all my life with young people. I started out their age and now I'm over four times as old as they are. I retired from teaching in June of 2016 after a half-century of being in the classroom. I feel that one should change careers every fifty years. Now I am an award winning author. My "Daniel Series" currently has six volumes, written with the reader in mind.
Besides the pleasure I get from writing, I also enjoy reading, painting, playing folk music on my banjo, and storytelling, which I have been doing for almost three decades.
