À propos de cet audio

It's never too late for a miracle.

When an old woman begs God to let her see the daughter who had been taken from her arms almost eighty years before - could her impossible prayer come true? In the summer of 1928, sixteen-year-old Minka was looking forward to a sewing class picnic. This would be a rare chance to put aside farm chores, don a pretty dress, and enjoy an outing with other girls. It would be a day to remember. And it was - but not in the way Minka had dreamed. Cornered by a stranger in the woods, the young girl was assaulted. Minka still believed that the stork brought babies; she would not discover for months that she was pregnant. The story that follows has been almost a hundred years in the making. What happens when a new mother must make a heartbreaking sacrifice to give her baby daughter the life she deserves? Can her cherished memories carry her through decades of turmoil, during a rapidly changing time in American history? And in the end, can she trust God for a miracle? The Waiting is an unforgettable true story of faith that triumphs, forgiveness that sets us free, and love that never forgets.

In June of 2014, I gave this book to my mother for her 65th birthday. She and I were avid readers; we couldn't wait to explore this book and discuss it together. She read it, and passed it on to me to read. The story hit home. My mother was given up for adoption in 1950, when she was 14 months old. Her natural mother loved her dearly, but was forced to make a heart-wrenching sacrifice in giving her up. Days after her 21st birthday, my mother was forced to make the same heart-wrenching sacrifice in giving up my half sister through similar circumstances than the story in this book.

It was the last book mom and I shared -- she passed away a few months later in a tragic accident. I've since read the book once more, then downloaded the audio book and listened to it during a long road trip. An exquisitely written novel, it really captures the emotions of the experience, the heart-wrenching choices, the love of a mother, the journey, the lasting effects, and the redemption. A must-read for anyone who has ever been touched by adoption.

Thankful to the authors for putting this story into words, and for Audible for creating this into an audiobook.

Exquisite - highly recommended!
