This latest book by Kim Vogel Sawyer is an inspiring and entertaining read. It follows the journey of three young adults who grew up together in an orphanage as they journey to college. The book is set just after the turn of the century. Each of the three main characters struggles with a slightly different issue from their past as they attempt to come to terms with the fact that each of them was abandoned in some way by their birth parents.
As a prospective adoptive parent I found this book interesting just from the standpoint of looking at an orphaned child's perspective of relating to birth family and the myriad emotions they must deal with. Of course, the lives of two of the main characters end up satisfyingly complete without any ugly loose ends while I suspect in real life that would not necessarily be the case - even when an orphaned child has a personal walk with Christ. Still, this book is well written and does take at least a bit of a journey into a type of life that many of us have not given more than superficial thought to.
This book is very well written with life lessons the reader can take from the book in addition to being entertained.
As part of their book reviewer program I received a complimentary copy of this book from the publisher. The opinions expressed in this review are completely my own.
