by Adolfo G. Pacheco (Author)

Where was God in all of this?

It was normal summer evening in June 2018. Cynthia Pacheco and her son, Josiah, were on their way to drop off some voting ballots at a high school when they were t-boned in an intersection by a drunk driver. The drunk driver was unscathed, Josiah was badly injured, Cynthia went home to be with the Lord. The family struggled with deep emotions, questions, uncertainties in God, and pain. But Adolfo, knew that God had not forsaken them.

Held Together is the true account of the roller coaster ride of emotional, mental, and spiritual changes that Adolfo endured throughout his life, leading to this climactic event. He openly shares his struggles with anger as he grew up with a father who struggled with his own demons of drinking, drugs, and a violent lifestyle. Adolfo shares what he learned through the loss of his daughter, forgiving her killer, and more. His journey shows how he overcame anger and found forgiveness and release.

God can help you overcome heartbreaks, difficulties, "bumps in the road". Be encouraged, "it's gonna be all right."
