Have you suffered heartbreak? Have you been terrorized at some time in your life? Have you lost a parent or another loved one? Did you learn to forgive?
This is a heartbreaking story about a girl whose family suffered heavily at the hands of their next door neighbor. The horrors that this little girl grew up experiencing would be difficult enough for an adult to face. And it was.
Rebecca’s parents were strongly involved in church and raised her to know the Lord. She knew to pray every evening for their enemies, even as closing her eyes might bring the next torture meant for her family. Her parents taught her love and kindness, even when you aren’t being shown any.
Then one night the unimaginable happens. Her whole world was shattered. The only thing that stayed the same was her love for Jesus and her knowledge of His saving grace. Years later, another harrowing experience rips her world apart. But still she stood strong in her faith in God, even as she acknowledged that He was in control and caused these hearbreaks to happen.

In the end, the biggest lesson of all that was learned was forgiveness. Rebecca Nichols Alonza overcame that lesson.
