This book is neither an autobiography nor a chronicle of Ophelia’s life. It is a creative non-fiction using true life examples to illustrate the action of God during our life’s hardships. I am drawing only from the challenges and realisations I have personally experienced in life in my relationship with my severely autistic child. This relationship is still a loving and blessed one. My focus was only on Ophelia’s healing from autism; but instead I found I was being healed from a different kind—from my warped inherited, corrupted virtues of Adam’s sin. I have been growing spiritually. Jesus sacrificed his life for us. He was gentle, humble, loving and obeyed God the Father. My personality traits changed as I learned daily—more and more—how to accept Ophelia for who she is now and not whom I wanted her to become if and when healed. The Bible says, “But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, self-control,”
