“Fascinating from start to finish! Couldn’t stop reading, and finished it in one day. It was well-written and inspiring, and I enjoyed reading every detail.

“The depth of her painful journey and the depth of her family’s love for God and each other jumped right off the pages and into my heart.” — Mary

“The first page drew me inside, and I spent an afternoon drinking in every word. I was moved and encouraged. It is an excellent read for anyone in the process of adoption or has recently adopted; and I HIGHLY recommend it for someone who has a heart for adoption, but the Lord still has them waiting.” — Amy

“I have had the great pleasure of meeting this amazing family! Having adopted an older child who is not of the same ethnicity has been a challenge that I could not always easily express. After meeting the author and reading her book I now know for sure that only by God’s grace and mercy it was the right decision. Her book mirrored some of the same incidents that I went through while trying to show love and patience as well as dealing with discipline issues. Anyone that is interested in adoption, especially of an older child , should read this book. Anyone that has already adopted should read this book. Even if you are just struggling with waiting on God for an answer in any area of your life, this book is well worth the read!” –Meritta
