This is the first book I have read by Karen Kingsbury but it won’t be the last. I read this book after seeing the movie. The movie was so moving and emotional that I just had to read the book and I am really glad that I did.
The book I read was revised to align more closely with the movie, so some of the names may have been changed in that version.
This book will truly tug at your heartstrings. It follows Andi Allen, who learns she was adopted as an embryo after a stranger reveals the truth about her past. Initially, Andi struggles to believe him, but her parents eventually confirm it. This shocking revelation shakes her to the core, prompting her to leave her job, fiancé, and adoptive family to journey to Birmingham, AL in search of her true identity.
As she connects with her biological family, she discovers she has a sister she never knew about, adding to her confusion. Dawson Gage, a stranger, helps Andi learn about her biological family and the sister she will never meet. Andi’s faith, along with Dawson’s support, helps her navigate her journey home. He guides her as she seeks to uncover her true identity. The novel beautifully weaves together themes of forgiveness, healing, and the transformative power of love.
This book is incredibly touching; it had me both crying and smiling at the same time. If you enjoy a beautifully written tearjerker with a wonderful story, I highly recommend this book.
Be sure to read the Producer’s notes at the end of the book, which explains how this book was adapted into a movie.
Happy Reading!
