The Wayward Sheep Peggy Chan

Life's hustle and bustle barely leaves us time to think. It is not uncommon to ask ourselves, "Is this what life is all about? All this rushing from one place to another?" You feel that something's missing in your life, something you can't quite put your finger on. Despite your successes, there is this feeling of emptiness-a kind of restlessness-and you don't know why it's there. The nine-to-five grind and (for moms) the daily school rounds, household chores, baby schedules, etc.-we're like hamsters running round and round on the wheel. It's only when a crisis hits us that we freeze in place or pause. That's when we utter, "Oh God!" "Oh my God!" Find out how Meg stands up to God whom she had rejected in favour of ancestral worship. God who was taking away three mothers in her family.
