- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5I could relate to this story in many ways. I am so glad that Donna was able to overcome the setbacks in her life. I found the stories of how she was rewarded with her children to be very interesting. This book should touch many lives. I know it touched my life!
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5Donna VanLiere is a woman who has been through the heartbreak of infertility. Through that lens she write about life's disappointments and how to cope with them. Definitely liked this book.
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5One of my life-long best friends is adopted. I recall us searching for and eventually finding her birth-mother only to discover that the genetics that she shared with them could never measure up to the love that she shared with her true family... the one that she was adopted into. I also know several mothers who have adopted their children. They have always known and truly believe that their children were destined to be theirs. I couldn't agree more and these are some of the best mothers I know. Donna VanLiere had every hope and every dream of a certain life and becoming a mother. After a childhood that included sexual abuse, she meets the man of her dreams and is fortunate enough to marry him. Her story takes the reader from the childhood dreams to her adult dreams of having children with her husband, Troy (who, by the way... sounds absolutely wonderful). However, after a tragic miscarriage, the couple is inexplicably faced with infertility. She questions God and tries to find his grace in her life as she craves from the depths of her soul to be blessed with children. Eventually, she does find that grace in the form of three beautiful children, two adopted from China and one from Guatemala. But, more than God's wonderful grace in these three children, she finds peace and grace in the entirety of her life. How she discovers it, she shares with the readers of this heartfelt book. I couldn't be more grateful for her moving words. On Sher's "Out of Ten Scale:" I needed this book at this stage in my life! Donna's story is one that brought me inspiration and reminded me that I have to be open to God's grace in my life in whatever form it is given to me. It may not be the way that I envisioned it and planned it, but His plan for me is greater than I can ever dream up myself. I pray for patience so much and it's still one of the biggest hurdles I face. I know that God is working on me and is preparing me for the greatness that will be the legacy of my life. This book helped remind me of that. For the genre Non-Fiction:Memoir/Spiritual, I am going to rate this book a 9 OUT OF 10.
