A Duck – but Tall in the Water . . .

by Lesley Wells

Lesley was one of six children whose mother gave them all away. Fostered then adopted by people who were simply not fit for purpose she experienced a lot of pain and cruelty in her childhood, but also found a lot of joy in the most unlikely places. Her elder brother was sent to Australia as a six year old on the child migration scheme.

Fifteen years later they finally meet again, he’s drunk and clearly drug addicted – she had prayed for her brother throughout her childhood, so how would her faith hold up now? If you think God doesn’t answer prayer and that miracles don’t happen, then think again and read this exciting true-life story.
