Eric Hughes grew up in Berkeley, a San Francisco suburb, in the 1960s. Although his parents provided a comfortable middle-class existence, it was precisely that, an existence. It lacked the loving family dynamic he saw in his friends and neighbors' homes. He longed for that happy, idealized sitcom family he watched on television. When dysfunction and temptation prevailed, Eric took solace in baseball, but without the loving support of his family. As a young adult, Eric relentlessly pursued a better life and achieved some financial success, but his temptations and dysfunction nearly took his life. What could only be touted as divine intervention, Eric's life would take a profound turn. He found peace within his spiritual faith and a newfound love of God. However, he soon realized that true happiness didn't come from a materialistic life but from the family dynamic he craved as a child.
