I have a must read book recommendation for you. Michael_reagan_photo

Twice Adopted by Michael Reagan is an amazing story of pain and redemption. Yes you got it; Michael is the adopted son of the late President Ronald Reagan. The story is an account of the pain, sorrow and rejection that Michael experienced as an adopted child. Then through the divorce of his famous parents Ronald Reagan and Jane Wyman he experienced even more loss and insecurity. Add to that with the busy schedules of his famous parents, he was sent off to boarding schools and summer camps to provide care for him.

While at a camp one summer, he was sexually molested and photographed by the camp leader. All of this initiated a downward spiral in his life that included all kinds of destructive behaviors. But thru the love of his wife and the power of God to heal, Michael has been able to survive these tragedies and thrive. He has used his experiences to help others that have suffered from divorce and sexual abuse.

He uses his radio show The Michael Reagan Show to discuss many issues of our day one of which is to crusade for safety for our children. He encourages the transformation of no fault divoce laws to ensure children are thought of first and protected. He also works for justice to be administered to sexual perpetrators.

My wife and kids will tell you I am a pretty emotional guy (heck my favorite movie is "It’s a wonderful live" what can you expect), so of course I found myself crying many times during this tale. Even if you are a tough marine you may shed a tear or two. And of course like all really good stories, there is a happy ending. The book does not shy away form discussing difficult realities but it also leaves the reader with great hope.

This is a must read book.

READ THE BOOK!!! Have a great day Wayne

About waynem

As a Minnesota based photographer and artist I have been greatly influenced by the Upper Midwest. I focus my skills and energies on portraits, landscapes, cityscapes, architectural and fine art work. My best work comes from images first painted in my mind. I mull over a prospective image for weeks or months, seeing it from different angles and perspectives, then finally deciding what to capture. The result is images that deeply touch people's emotions and powerfully evoke memories and dreams. My images are used commercially by companies and organizations ranging from Financial Services firms, mom and pop Ice Cream shops and The Basilica of St Mary to communicate their shared vision and values. Book and magazine publishers have featured my images on their covers. My photographs also grace and enhance the decor of many fine homes.
