This is such a heartbreaking, beautiful and well written story! I didn’t know about embryo adoptions until this book. As always, I loved the faith of the Baxter family and how they relied on God!
Things I loved:
-John Baxter obeying the prompting of the Holy Spirit and praying for his family.
-The family gathering together to hear the news from Peter and Brooke and praying.
-How London came to believe in God.
Some parts of the book I didn’t agree with:
Dawson being so available to London.
-I understand Maddie needing time to process that she was adopted. I don’t think it was wise for her to fly out to meet her biological parents with a man she barely knows. I don’t agree with her decisions after finding out about being adopted.
- I didn’t agree with Dawson telling Maddie about her biological family.
-The unrealistic and unhealthy romance that is sometimes promoted in Karen Kingsbury books.
Despite this, this is a great book and it made me cry and I can’t wait to see this movie!
