We’re Home by Henny Jane Thormoset explores the joys and trials of the family’s turbulent first 18 months in Cameroon as they try to figure out where home is and when they might possibly get there. Henny openly shares her struggles in the face of life and death situations and, in doing so, she demonstrates how God is able to walk ordinary people through the most extraordinary circumstances.
“Jostled out of my reverie, I quickly step back keeping my balance. Sonya is clinging to me, her thin arms squeezed around my middle. “Mommy,” she cries, ‘I wanna go home!’”
