Because I Knew You Were Mine: A Memoir of Forgiveness - Paperback

Because I Knew You Were Mine is a powerful narrative that explores the depths of childhood neglect and reveals the path toward healing.

Who is my mother? Who is my father? Where do I belong? Abandoned by her mother when her father left for World War II, young Patricia Stroberg had no answers. When her father returned, it seemed she might have a family after all. Yet her hopes were shattered by a mother mired in mental illness and a family shrouded in secrecy.

This memoir unpacks one woman's journey from trauma to healing. Pat chose to focus on the power of forgiveness to build a life of purpose: founding a multimillion-dollar business, raising a family, and serving her community.

Distinct yet universal, Because I Knew You Were Mine inspires all those seeking hope that the scars of our past need not dictate our future trajectory.
