David The Beloved: Journey To Find My Lost Heart is a story about a precious young child who was dearly loved by many people early in his life. Yet unexpected and tragic events led this child to experiences inconsistent with his preciousness. From these experiences, he took on heartbreaking beliefs about himself, and he kept these beliefs hidden - and treated them like gospel - losing his true, loving nature. How could this have happened? To truly understand the events of my journey that I share in this memoir, I had to reflect on my life and ask myself some profound questions. And I had to be willing to see the truth. How could I explain that I was touched by loving beings, without fully realizing it, for years? It was as if a light had illuminated a path in front of me, coaxing me to go that way, even though my experiences in life said, "Don't go." How could I explain why I took so many risks without realizing what I was doing, as if I had no choice in the matter? And even though my mind said there was something wrong with me, that I somehow deserved the childhood abuse and cancer I suffered through, I brought loving human beings into my life. How was that possible? They touched me without my realizing it - and they reminded me who I truly am just by the nature of who they were. And where did I find the will, strength, and perseverance to keep the journey alive to find the truth of who I really am?
