Rachel Straussberg

Rachel Straussberg is a wife and mother living in Odyssey. She and her husband Stephen have two children, Mandy and David. Rachel is a warm and attentive parent with a strong Christian faith. When Mandy comes home crushed by the worst day of her life, Rachel brings her soup and a gentle truth: bad days come to everyone, and they are no proof that God has stopped loving you. Prayer matters deeply to her - she comes to believe that couples drift apart when they stop praying together. Her marriage falls into serious trouble, and the strain leaves her buried in bills, work, and worry. Even then her children remain her heart. When Mandy admits how lonely she has grown, Rachel promises her that things will change.
