This book was the first Karen Kingsbury book that I read. I LOVED IT!!!!
Shane and Lauren were sooo much in love and ended up pregnant as teenagers. However, they wanted to stay together desparately. But their parents separated them across the country. Shane's parents moved them away right before the baby was born! Lauren and Shane didn't know how to contact each other. Lauren had the baby and no way to contact her only love. She was desparate so soon after the baby was born she left home to find Shane in California! But her baby, Emily, got sick- so much so that she knew she had to get her to a hospital. So she traveled back home and Emily was close to death. There was a mix up at the hospital and Lauren thought that Emily died. So, without finding out the truth or talking to her parents she left home- without looking back. Emily didn't die! She was raised by her grandparents and without a mom or dad. Lauren's parents looked for her but could never find her... When Emily graduated from high school she tracked down her mom AND dad... they are brought together after all these years.... but can they find a common ground again? It is a story of forgiveness and finding God through all of it... It is a true tearjerker and I fell in love with the characters so much that I couldn't wait to read the second book, Ever After. I LOVED LOVED LOVED this book! I couldn't imagine living apart from my baby while she was growing up and the heartbreak I would feel for those years! UGH!
A must read!!!!! All of Karen Kingsbury's books pull at your heartstrings!! This one especially!
