Precious in His Sight Octavia Praetorius

This is a story about Mia, a six year-old little girl caught in the middle of her parent's divorce. She is thrown into distress when her mother brings her abusive boyfriend in to live with them, but overcomes the horror of child abuse through her faith in Jesus. Her friend, Mark, also comes from an abusive home. Together, they see each other through with their friendship. Skip is the passionate caseworker who takes on the mission of protector of children, endeavoring to restore families. It's through his eyes we get a better understanding and the grander scope of the epidemic of child abuse, which reports at least 4- 5 children a day die from.

"He will rescue the poor when they cry out to Him, He will help the oppressed, who have no one to defend them. He feels pity for the weak and the needy, and He will rescue them. He will redeem them from oppression and violence, for their lives are precious to Him."

Bible Verse Psalm 72:12-14 NLT
