“... the transition from lost to found is never an easy one. It is never easy to be a prodigal son -- or daughter. It is never easy to say, 'I will arise and go to my father ...' (Luke 15:18, 19).

Like her roughened hands, her sensitivity was slowly being hardened, and she drew relief from the numbness creeping through her.”
