A story about what forgiveness may really look like in the real world. There is such hope in this story, not in a pat, happily-ever-after ending, but in a real-world challenge to think of what you define forgiveness as, and how you would react in the same situation.
Robin is an excellent writer. I fell in love wit he the characters. This realistic, heart warming story will take you on an up and down journey of how God can turn our mistakes into blessings.
Heartwarming and emotional story of how God’s love and forgiveness can work in our messy lives. You’ll love it!
A good book with a good message.
WOW – my 1st read from Robin Lee Hatcher & I LOVED it! Such a heartrending tale that’s so true to life, but shows the miracle that God can do with yielded, repentant hearts.
A interesting read that deals with hard problems about being adopted. the ramifications of searching for birth parents and how the reunion can have a big impact on peoples lives. In this story it did have a big impact. This is a inspirational story and would recommend this book and author.
First one by this author and this was very good. Will plan to read more from this author!!
Great read. Couldn’t put it down.
It could have been me or you. Young and in love; desperate to not be forgotten. Mistakes are made in the process of growing up. Some very hard choices to make at 17 for a confused young woman in a era when an unplanned pregnancy is frowned on. Secrets may seem the best choice at the time but there is a time to be honest and deal with the consequences.
Interesting take on adoption and finding birth parents and complications of relationships and the secrets we keep. I enjoyed this read.
A gut-wrenching story. You can’t keep a dry eye reading it.
This book was sad. However, I can certainly understand how this book could certainly be true. The husband was selfish and needed to pull the telephone pole out of his own eye before pulling the toothpick from his wife’s. He obviously dated while he was. away in college. The statement was even made that he was in the arms of others. He didn’t even contact her during this time.
Haven’t lived with problem but with God he can make a sad situation turn right if we look to Him to guide us
Just wow!
Great story.
Loved it
An old decision comes back to disrupt 2 families. Relationships are injured as they struggle to heal and move on. It’s an old plot with a new approach.
Realistic and thought provoking!
A great read
An AWESOME book! Kept me glued to the end and yes there were tears! I loved it!
