Parenting for the Long Road

With warmth, honesty, and wisdom, Parenting for the Long Road reminds us that raising children is not a short journey measured by daily success or failure. It is a lifelong road shaped by patience, courage, and grace. And the destination is far more beautiful than the bumps along the way.

Drawing from decades of experience raising biological, adopted, foster, and deeply wounded children, Carmen Ferber shares the wisdom gained from a life spent navigating both extraordinary joy and profound challenge. Through honest stories, hard-earned lessons, and practical insights, she explores what it truly means to parent with vision rather than reaction to look past a child’s immediate behavior and keep your eyes on the adult they are becoming.

Includes a Study Guide.

The House

To outsiders, it looked warm and charming.

To the people inside it, the house became something far greater:

A place where damaged things were not thrown away.

A place where healing was rarely quick and never tidy.
A place where love often looked more like perseverance than perfection.

And at the center of it all stood a woman who kept opening the door one more time, even after promising herself she was finished.

Because somehow, there was always just enough room for one more.

Unspoken

When Hannah’s father is taken away in the middle of the night by Soviet authorities, her world begins to unravel. What follows is a childhood shaped by hunger, silence, war, and survival in Eastern Europe during one of history’s darkest eras. From hidden prayer meetings and empty soup bowls to crowded refugee trains and lonely nights in a barn loft, Unspoken follows one young girl’s journey through loss, displacement, and the quiet resilience that carried so many through World War II.

Separated from her family while fleeing west, Hannah must learn to survive alone in a foreign land where danger is never far away and kindness appears in the most unexpected places. As bombs fall, armies advance, and entire lives disappear overnight, she clings to the small things that remain: a hand-embroidered handkerchief, a piece of hidden bread, the memory of her mother’s voice, and the fragile belief that God still sees her.

Rich with historical detail and emotional depth, Unspoken is a moving novel about survival, faith, endurance, and the strength of the human spirit when everything familiar has been taken away. Some stories are spoken loudly. Others live quietly in the hearts of those who survived. This is one of them.

As she begins a new chapter in Canada, she must find the strength to overcome the scars of the past while embracing the promise of hope and renewal.

The Cries Only She Heard is a powerful historical novel about resilience, motherhood, faith, and the enduring strength of the human spirit. Rich with emotion and unforgettable characters, it is a moving story of survival, sacrifice, and the courage to start again when everything seems lost.

A sweeping tale of hope, healing, and the extraordinary power of a woman’s heart.
