review 1: After reading Second Chances by Charity Norman i very quickly bought Freeing Grace fully expecting this to be as outstanding as Second Chances. I was a little disappointed that is wasn't the five stars, but still it was a good read. I didn't feel i made a connection with the characters, but in saying that i was interested to see what happened to 'Grace' the baby abandoned at birth by the mother. It was heartbreaking to see the 17 year old father wanting to keep the baby himself, but also on the adoptive parents side, the anquish they went through trying to have a baby, then on the waiting list to adopt, then the battle to have 'Grace' also...i'm glad my career is not making the decision of which family is the best!
review 2: I rather touching story though at... more time a little predictable. There are however several twists throughout and it is well written. Grace is the daughter of a young boy and his girlfriend who is suddenly killed soon after the birth. David's family decide to keep the baby but must show themselves as worthy to the authorities. A desperate, childless couple - a curate and his Nigerian born wife - will do almost anything to adopt the baby and must go through lots of ups and down along the way. A good read that brings tears to the eyes on more than one occasion throughout the story. less
