About the authors

Joy VanDertuin: After a grand mal seizure in 1996, Joy needed connection with the outside world during her recovery. Raising twelve young children at the time and not being able to drive for a year, depression started to set in. She knew she had to do something. One day she found a stray injured bunny and called an animal rehabber. She was ultimately licensed by the state of Texas and lovingly rehabbed both wild and domestic abandoned and injured animals. Joy clearly recalls how much her hard work helped with her own rehab from her seizure. In earlier years, Joy and her husband Rod found their life's mission in adopting harder-to-place children. With three biological sons, they adopted ten abandoned and abused babies and toddlers of various ethnic backgrounds from two weeks to four years old. Joy is a Christian who understands what it means to depend on God through every circumstance.
