Lucky Baby by Meredith Efken


http://www.meredithefken.com/books.html

When imagination meets reality in this East meets West novel, the power of love and forgiveness conquers all. Meg Lindsay is determined to not be like her mother was to her, but can parenting a child fill the void she has where her mother is concerned?

I read this book in two days! I loved reading it and hated the times that I had to put it down! The author keeps this book flowing with imagery that flows off the page and into vivid pictures in your mind!

This is an adoption book that I think all adoptive parents should read, but especially parents adopting older children! I have a feeling that parents who have adopted from China will also really enjoy this book as well. It portrays so much more than just the orphan finds a family theme that most people think of in adoption books. It shows that there is more than one side to a life and that all things must be considered when adopting a child!

Disclaimer: I received a free copy of this book in order to review it for the author. I was not bound in any way though to give it a good review!
