About

This is a serious, yet humorous, chronological account of Jim Diehl's search for his true family, and the many turns along that path he encountered.
Growing up, there were no baby books or relatives to answer his questions about who he was. His earliest memory is growing up with his brother, Steve, on a small farm in Milton, West Virginia, in the foster care of the Lewis family. During those years, he was known as Jimmy Ying.
At the beginning of 1956, the brothers were told they were going on a visit with their "social lady," Mrs. Morgan. On a cold and very snowy January 11th morning, they were bundled up and sent off before being told they were going to visit some very nice people.
When asked if they'd like to stay or just visit with these new nice people, the author immediately said he wanted to stay, but his brother hesitantly said, "just visit."
Join the author as he looks back at what it was like to grow up as a ward of the state and how he finally answered that question about who he is in “His Grace Is Sufficient”.
