What Did I Do Wrong?
What Did I Do Wrong? is the first book of a three-book series sharing Eveline Sandy's personal journey of resilience and perseverance. Born in the late fifties to a single mother in East Germany, Eve eventually moved with her mother to the United States to live with her mother's new husband, another US serviceman whom Eve knew as Dad. With this new man frequently absent and detached from their lives, Eve and her mother were regularly left alone to fend for themselves. They moved frequently, creating a very unstable family life. Even so, this was nothing compared to the trauma that would haunt Eve for the rest of her life. At twelve, she became the victim of a violent crime-an event that reverberates in her life even today. Later, when she was in high school, her mother was diagnosed with cancer-and they were both permanently abandoned by the man she knew as her father. In her adulthood, she became a single mother herself, and her mother eventually lost her battle with cancer. Even through all of the trials, tribulations, and triumphs that life has thrown at her, Eve's immeasurable faith and trust in the Lord have helped and guided her, keeping her on the path of love and forgiveness.

*** I received a free copy for an honest review***
The story itself was sad and I would never wish anyone to go through what the author went though. I also give her props for everything that she did go through.
All together though, I felt that the story line jumped, and it was a little hard to understand. I also felt like there was information in there that as a reader we didn't need to know and that it was more for the author to just know. At times, things were repeated, which made the story drag a little.
As a reader, this read isn't something I would be willing to pick up and read on my own. I am glad I got the chance to read it and was able to have an insight inside this authors world. Sometimes we forget that people have it worse then us and it was an eye opener.
