review 1: I picked this book up on a Saturday morning and spent the entire day wrapped up in its story. I felt embraced by the amount of love conveyed in this book...I couldn't put it down...until it was finished!I LOVE how Wesley D. Hutchins, Esq, stated in the front of the book "Somewhere in the world a pregnancy test is negative...and a woman weeps. Somewhere else in the world a pregnancy test is positive...and another woman weeps."I was AMAZED at the feelings that infertility can cause both in the husband and the wife.I am also amazed at how much LOVE it must take to give your child up for adoption.My heart is full of gratitude that I was able to read this WONDERFUL book and be part of these two families' lives...albeit...in a fictional portrayal...I will forever more look at pr... moreegnancy and adoption with a more humbled attitude...life is precious!I am also grateful for a Savior who does heal ALL...for only HE knows ALL.
review 2: Perhaps my expectations were just too high. I am am an adopted woman struggling with infertility myself and I'm planning on adopting. I have been waiting for this book for months and my sweet mom got it for me for mother's day. I just wanted more emotion. I wanted to be. drawn in more. I hardly even cried. As a writer myself that is frustrating. It did, however, keep me up nights worrying about maybe. Maybe her parents won't be supportive. Maybe she'll be ostrocized (sp) from her friends, her school , her ward. Maybe she'll be deserted and alone. Maybe she'll not pick us because my husband isn't a returned missionary and I have epilepsy. Maybe she will change her mind. Maybe I'll be jealous . Maybe she won't like our pictures. Maybe it will take years.I'm not sure I'd recommend it to another adoptive family or a birthmom. less
