In the final section of Mistaken Identity, by Mark Tabb, the author sums up the entire story extremely well. In chapter twenty one, the author describes moving ahead for both families. The families used their experiences to deepen their faiths. The Cerak family continued to rejoice in their daughter's life. On the other hand, the Van Ryns continued to rejoice in the fact their daughter was with the Lord in heaven. Both families told their friends and family in detail about the experience. They used the experience to further the case for God. Ultimately, the experience made them stronger disciples in sharing the faith. They had strange circumstances, but overcame them well to return to their normal, productive lives.
In the epilogue, the author details where the families are now. They still maintain somewhat consistent contact with each other. Both families preach the message of God using their personal stories to strengthen their case. Whitney is very successful in her endeavors thus far and continues to excel in the world. Both families have completely moved passed the identity swap and are better friends from the experience.
After reading the final section of Tabb's book, I fully understand the two family's friendship. There are certain events and or struggles that can truly connect two people. Even if the event is a tragedy, having another person with you through the struggle increases your bond with them tremendously. Both families dealt with the identity swap. Therefore, they understood both ends of the spectrum with their daughters. I always look back to difficult times with people are truly admire. When they help me through these times, I feel our friendship grows immensely. Overall, I enjoyed this story. I also agree with many of the author's views. I look forward to continuing my reading with other books close to the level of enjoyment of this one.
