Love's stability—a foster child's story

Robert A. Johnson with contributions from Jerry Cook

How can the effects of an abused childhood be healed? In the following interview, contributing editor Robert A. Johnson talks with Jerry Cook, who spent the first ten years of his life being bounced back and forth between a foster home and his birth mother. Here, Mr. Cook shares how the light of Christian Science and the example of one person's life brought him through his difficult childhood and completely healed him of any aftereffects. Mr. Cook went on to a successful career that has included military service, fatherhood, and teaching.

Jerry , from what you've told me, there was very little stability in your younger years. Can you tell us something of what you remember from those years?
