Author Julie Plagens joins Blake to talk about her seven-year family estrangement from her parents. Julie dives into a subject that is not often talked about in the Christian community, and explains how she had to walk away from her family to find healing. By divine intervention and the grace of God, after reconciliation, their family was knit back together.
