This book updates the previous book The Adopted Son 2010 and describes the life of Joseph C. Peterson from the time he was born through 82 years of developing businesses and raising a family. He describes how God has had such a positive influence in helping him persevere and be successful. He shows how success is not material wealth but the love of a family and knowing that you have left your mark in this world by showing love and compassion to others. He wants people to know that you must have God in your lives to make this success possible. It is important for people to know that if they are abused while they are growing up, to never give up and with God's help to overcome these obstacles.

Many examples of how prayer and guidance from God changed the course of his life

and many others that he came in contact with over his 82 years.
