On Monday, September 1, 1951, Deborah Faye Banks gave birth to a seven-pound, six-ounce, little, pink bundle of joy. The only problem was no one bothered to explain to Deborah Faye the joy part. In fact, twelve weeks later, when prodded by her landlord to give her child a name, she announced, 'Mrs. Thatcher, I'd like you to meet Miss Pawn Ticket Banks. Miss Pawn Ticket Banks, I'd like you to meet Mrs. Thatcher.' A few days later, Deborah Faye Banks disappears from Catalpa, Louisiana, leaving Mrs. Rose Thatcher the unorthodox guardian of little Pawn Ticket. Though Rose is in her fifties and has no experience raising children of her own, she takes on the job of taking care of Pawn willingly. To her greater surprise, after many years of close friendship with her dearest friend, Henry, she receives an offer of marriage-which she accepts-making Pawn, Rose, and Henry a happy family. Together, the family teaches Pawn self-confidence, honesty, friendship, and love in a Christian home. However, lingering doubts play in the back of her mind as Rose fears that Deborah Faye will one day return to take Pawn away from her. And worse, she worries that Pawn will want to go with her. Will Deborah return for her child? Will Rose and Henry be able to give her up? Will Pawn leave the only home she's ever known? Find out in PK Nations's heartwarming and enchanting story of love and an unusual family, Redeeming Pawn Ticket.
