This inspirational short story is a creative non-fiction showcase of memoir. Emotional and poetic memories of a father who loved, and left are contrasted with our Heavenly Father who loves and stays. These father's impacts on one child's heart are revealed to help others experience their own transformations from ache and grief into mature living and loving.

Christine unwraps her heart, once treated with recklessness and now watches as the Lord transforms what she thought was worthless into spectacular treasures. She invites you to join her on this amazing journey, meet unexpected helpers and look on these treasures as they truly are. Perhaps her honest bravery will help you to save your treasures for the joy in store for you at our Master's welcoming table.

Come. Share a cup of coffee in the galley with me. Together we'll unpack glorious treasures because God treasures us. By the LORD's saving grace, you and I are DERELICT NO MORE!
