Staying: A Multi-Generational Memoir of Rescue and Restoration

Lauded by TrueFaced’s John Lynch, bestselling author and fellow Atlantan Jeff Foxworthy, bestselling author Andrew Farley and Third Day lead singer Mac Powell, Staying is a memoir of hope, faith and love, but it is full of gritty and authentic moments every parent will find relatable. Author William Sanders recalls, Sitting in the backseat of a car driven by my abductor, a crazy woman I used to call mom, the six-year-old me pleads for something I had no expectation of getting. Mercy. Sitting beside me is eight-year-old Cindy, my sister, comforter and fellow victim of a plot that would forever shape the course of our lives. She whispers to me that things are going to be okay. I guess in the longest of long runs, she was right. Thirty years later, lying on the floor of my daughter Rachel’s room for the millionth night in a row, I again plead for something I am beginning to think I’m not going to get. Mercy. On night one million and one, God whispers to me, everything is going to be okay. He tells me I am The Great Stayer in the lives of Rachel, my daughter Laura and my wife Jane. I have no idea what He means. I need something from Him far greater than a new name. Or so I think.
