Joey lives an idyllic life with his parents on the coast of Florida. His days are spent playing with his cousins, sailing with his dad, and making up stories with his mom.
It’s a perfect life until the day they receive a disturbing phone call: a stranger’s decision could tear Joey away from the comfort and security of the only home he’s ever known.
One family is determined to keep the son they love, the other is determined to begin a new life, the life they’ve always dreamed of. Joey’s future rests in their hands and someone must make the bravest decision of their life.
Sometimes the greatest love is letting go.
My Thoughts: A friend loaned me this book and as I began to read it, I was a little taken aback when I realized what it was about. I told her as much and she made the comment that she knew I could handle it. She was right. I’m so glad I read this book and love how Ms. Kingsbury uses fiction to make a person realize that you don’t have to give birth to a child to be their mother and love them the way they deserve to be loved. Whether you are going through a similar trial in your life or not, this is a definite must read! Thank you Karen Kingsbury for allowing the Lord to use your writing to touch so many of your readers-I know you have touched my life!

I'm so glad you liked it. I knew you would enjoy it. I missed the movie when it was in the theatre, but look forward to seeing it when it comes out on DVD. Another KK must read is Unlocked. I think you will love it.
PS...I love the new blog design.
Thanks....I figured it was time for a change ;-P And I actually got Unlocked from my best friend last night-looking forward to reading it!!!
