"Someone has said that when you have nothing left but God,  you realize that God is enough. God had stood beside me when no one else  wanted me. He was not going to abandon me now. God would have to heal the emotional  pain that throbbed through my body."As a child, Dorie was rejected  by her mother, sent to live in an orphanage where she was regularly beaten by the  orphanage director, was beaten time and again by cruel foster parents, and was daily  told that she was ugly and unlovable. Dorie never knew love until a group of college  students visited the orphanage and told her that God loved her. As she accepted  that love, her life began to change. Dorie is a thrilling true account  of what God's love can do in a life. Doris Van Stone takes readers through the hard  years of her childhood into her fascinating years as a missionary with her husband  to the Dani tribe in New Guinea. With the rise of illegitimate births, the increase  in divorce statistics, and the frightening escalation of child abuse, this story  stands as a reminder that God's love, forgiveness, and grace are greater than human  hurt and sorrow.
