Abby never dreamed she would not be the one to finish raising her children. After all she was the one who had the encounter with Jesus Christ that changed her life forever. How did this happen, where did she go wrong? The reader will explore the aftermath from Abbys personal experiences as she walked through the floods that ravaged her home and how she survived to tell about it.
Had this book been available in 1977, Abby would have bought it. It would have been a source to help open her eyes on the importance of identifying and healing her own past childhood hurts in order to become healthy emotionally and empowered to stay away from unhealthy abusive men. Abby would have learned how to proactively help her children, guiding them on the road to healthy, happy productive lives from the start.
It is a delicate and awkward subject discussing an abusive marriage that entails child sexual abuse and the horrific after effects of such abuse. Could it be that God called Abby into His kingdom for such a time as this?
Former co-host of the 700 Club Sheila Walsh, wrote a book titled Honestly, that book was a key factor in helping Abby to face and process her own past childhood trauma.
All I can say is WOW this is as much a self-help book as it is a Memoir. Donna Vigil R.N.

Abigail Skyz is the third born in a family of five, four girls and one boy born to Earl Hubert Wilfong and the late Mildred Loraine Crowley.
She accepted Christ as her Savior at the age of nineteen and was baptized in the Holy Spirit and Fire at the age of twenty-one committing her life to the Lordship of Jesus Christ. She has been serving the Lord in a variety of capacities ever since.
Abby holds a Master's Degree of Theology in Christian Counseling, she is a member of the American Association of Christian Counselors, is ordained, is a Certified In-Prison-Seminar Instructor and has served on a local International Women's Aglow advisory board as Vice President. For fifteen years she has concentrated her ministry and volunteer counseling on incarcerated youth. Her method is based on teaching Biblical life skills to be applied in everyday life.
Prior to writing her memoir she considered herself a tent maker much like the Apostle Paul in the New Testament. Her tent making consisted mostly of working in acute care facilities as a Nurse Assistant and as a Certified Lab Technician to support her volunteer ministry in the juvenile detention centers, jails and prisons. She later worked for an International Christian Radio Ministry.
Since the day Abby met Jesus Christ in 1977 her passion has been to help troubled youth. Her burden to seek answers for helping the incarcerated inspired her to write her Master Thesis on The Need for Biblical Regeneration for Youth Sex Offenders. The sexual abuse of young boys in our country has escalated and many of these bruised reeds in turn have molested other children. Abby feels if we can reach them with the truth while they are still young, their future children and others will be spared from suffering the same abuse they received.
She dreams of one day owning her own Ranch house for troubled teens, calling it the Sons of Thunder home.
Abby is divorced and has two adult sons and three grandchildren, two grandsons and one granddaughter. She currently lives in Northern California with her Lhasa Apso, Elvis.
