Orphan:  [awr-fuh-n]; a child without parents; one whose
parents have either died or who have abandoned him.

This is a story of a real orphan, of which there are few.  When we come across one of these persons today, they are called “adopted” or they are wards of the state.  All orphanages in America have been done away with and replaced by foster homes, and the word “homes” can often leave a lot to be desired.

A baby, only a week or so old, showed up on the front steps of a church in Detroit, Michigan.  He had been wrapped in a blanket and placed in a cardboard box.  Pinned to his blanket was a note but the only thing it said about him was that he was named after his father, Zachary.  That was it — nothing more!

“The Orphan” will take you along with him as he travels through life, from being a nobody to becoming a somebody.  This journey doesn’t come easily, but it is exciting to see what happens to him.  You will discover that it is love that makes the difference; both love he receives and love he gives.  Come along and let him reveal to you how his life is altered.

We live in a very mobile society. Gone are the days when families were raised, children were married, and few moved away from their community. This is the story of a young woman who rejected that idea. Her roots were deep into the soil from which five generations of her family sprang, and she was determined to stay right there. This she did despite both fantastic success and temptation to take off in other directions.

Rebecca Brighten is a beautiful woman, blessed with fantastic intelligence and skill, and she was offered a future that would boggle a young woman’s mind. Mixed into all of this were those who sought her love, those who wanted to make plans for her, and one who wanted her to pull up her roots and be his wife.

This is her chronicle of refusing to allow others to run her life, despite all the things they were offering her. This is a woman who knew who she was and was able to stay true to how she wanted to live!
