I read this book in about two days. I cried. It was amazing! I passed it on to a woman who wants to adopt and she absolutely loved it!
This was probably my favorite stand alone title by Karen Kingsbury (2nd only to the Baxter series). This was a phenomenal book! Can't wait for the movie.
wow, as a mother I could relate to this couple. This is the sweetest book that shows the blessings of God.
Read it cover to cover in one evening, because I couldn't put it down!! Some of the story frustrated me, but it ended perfectly.
It will break your heart and put it back together again. I cannot wait to see the movie because the book is out of this world.
I loved this book! I'm even more excited about the movie being made on it but I think the book will still be better!
Loved it. It had one of the best messages that I've read. I'm now convinced that Karen Kingsbury is my favorite author.
This is a story about a family who adopted a son from infancy. Molly feels like her life is just perfect with their wonderful son and her sister's family just recently moved to Florida to be closer to her. Molly and her husband both love their son very much and can't imagine life without him after spending five years with him. Then they gets a call from a social worker in Ohio saying that there is a problem with the adoption papers being forged and the birth parents want their son back. Molly is beside herself and doesn't know what to do. Her options become pretty slim when it looks like things are not going well. They make decisions as a couple that will forever change their family. What is in their future? Will they trust in God that he has a plan for their lives? It is a book definitely worth the read. It was very good
I was on holidays when I read this and had to put it down as i was in the laundry mat and didn't want people to see me cry. An amazing book especially if you have children, it makes me appriciate my own!!!!!
Karen takes you so into the parts created by her. She led me to read 1 kings 3 which I had never really read before.
