Summary: Emotionally Charged
Review: This book is full of all the emotions that infertility, adoption, and broken homes can bring. Tracie Peterson does a very good job of making the reader feel for the characters in the book. It is not a very long book so it was easy for me to read in just a few days. I gave it 4 stars because while it was done very well, it is not Tracie's best work.

Summary: Yikes
Review: This book was my first attempt at reading from the Christian fiction genre. I wish I had picked something else as I was severely disappointed.
This book sucked on a number of levels: The writing was stilted, the dialogue stiff and unrealistic, and the main character, a 36-year-old affluent infertile woman, was unsympathetic and stuck-up. (She goes through a change of outlook, but it comes off ridiculously unbelievable.)
She calls herself a 'baby Christian' in so many words throughout the book and that is the way she came off 99% of the time. She doesn't even realize that we're not living under Mosaic law anymore by not wanting to work on the Sabbath by having a work-related conversation with a colleague.
Maybe there are some other books out their in the Christian fiction realm that address infertility struggles a little more down-to-earth than this pathetic attempt.

Summary: Never Read a Better Adoption Story...
Review: This story is one of the best I've read in a long time on the subject of infetility and adoption. There's nothing more agonizing and stressful than not able to concieve, and Peterson captures the emotion perfectly. And when a fourteen-year-old girl gets pregnant, the couple is happy to bring her into their life. With a surprising and tearful ending, you will be glued to the pages to the very end. It make me cry so much I had to hide in my bedroom for about an hour before I could calm down! I highly recommend this book to anyone dealing with infertility or even anyone wanting to know more about the subject. I would give this book 10 stars if I could!

Summary: Long awaited book on an oft-untold subject
Review: Tracie Peterson tackles infertility and adoption in this book. Kudos to her for choosing an issues that is not often the topic of a novel. From personal experience, I can say that Ms. Peterson tackles the issues, emotions and situations with stunning clarity and reality. The book is heart-wrenching, as you experience the pains of infertility and teen pregnancy with the characters. The author even gives us a bit of a twist at the end of the book, which I had not expected. The best part of this book are the lessons the characters learn on how to trust in God and leave everything to Him. It is a good quick read, and one that I will read again.

Summary: get out the kleenex
Review: You will need it with this book. This is a good book about adoption, infertility, broken homes, and how God can help people in their lives. I found the book very emotional. The characters, although not very deep, seem to resonate with a purpose. You don't get to know any of the characters VERY well, but you get an understanding of what Tess & Sherry have gone through. After all the despair, there is light at the end of the tunnel with this book, as the author places a nice little epilogue at the end...
