This memoir is for the edification and encouragement of those of us who struggle with the big questions. I have been Hilda Moore's pastor (officially and unofficially) and friend for over twenty-seven years, so I am well acquainted with her unique story of overwhelming tragedy, heartache, grief, and spiritual triumph.

Two Sons Twice Born,
By
This review is from: Two Sons Twice Born (Paperback)
This book is such an inspiration especially to those of us who have had the misfortune of losing a child. I, do believe, it is the most tragic loss of all. The author had such a strong faith in God already but found herself not able to control things as she would like them to be. She had to give in to God & let him lead the way. I could feel the emotions she was trying to express as I read the book & could not put it down until the last page was finished. I think it is a wonderful read and will help many people as they travel through life as bad things do happen to good people.

A moving- if pristine- memoir from a member of the WWII generation...,
By Max38 (Taylorsville, GA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Two Sons Twice Born (Paperback)
Recently, readers have enjoyed a slew of memoirs coming from members of the World War II generation, such as William Oscar Austin Jr.'s Gone But Not Forgotten. These autobiographies are notable for several reasons. One especially prominent reason is that the authors all present warts-and-all portrayals of their lives, a far cry from the romanticism that is often alluded to the members of this remarkable generation.
Two Sons Twice Born by Georgia author Hilda Atkins Moore ads to this list. Whereas Austin's memoir concentrates on overcoming sin, Moore's book examines how an individual goes on living in a harsh world. Indeed, Moore's has been a tough one. As a little girl, her beloved father dies. Her brother, Clyde, fights in World War II, and goes MIA. Eventually, he returns home, but only after a hellish stint in a Nazi prisoner-of-war camp. Later, as an adult, her outgoing son Reyn has a swimming accident. He finally dies at age forty after years of being in a vegetative state. Her other son, Tom, perishes as well at age thirty-six. A cultured, superbly educated doctor, Tom succumbs from an HIV-related illness. There would be other tragedies and misfortunes as well. It sounds like a sad, difficult narrative, but it isn't as dreary as one might think. Moore graphically and poetically describes the good times as well. She takes comfort in all of the joys she has experienced, such as Sunday dinners complete with homemade fried chicken and sweet tea, her many close siblings (she's the youngest of ten children), and her trips to Hawaii and the Holy Land. Above all, she takes comfort in her Christian beliefs. At times, it's fun to read this book, in part to her unpretentious, simple writing style. She herself makes the book enjoyable. Throughout the work, Moore comes across as being sunny, friendly, affable, and genuine. She is especially likable when she discusses Tom's homosexuality. As an evangelical, she has misgivings about that lifestyle. Nevertheless, she treats her son with the utmost kindness. It's moving and inspirational without being maudlin. Some readers might find her Christian belief system to be simplistic. She regards her many tragedies as being all parts of God's will. Never does she attempt to explain why God allows good people to suffer. Her strong faith even hurts her own narrative from time to time. Following each tragedy, she instantly turns to her faith in God. Yes, this is wonderful, but it tends to make Moore an aloof, pristine presence in her own memoir. One wishes that she had expressed her own doubts and vulnerabilities more often; such expressions make a book's central figure more endearingly human. Like all books, Moore's Two Sons Twice Born has its perceived imperfections. Still, it's a great book coming from a fascinating woman who has many stories to tell. It would make an excellent addition to any book collection. ---Jonathan Maxwell, the author of Murderous Intellectuals: German Elites and the Nazi SS

This review is from: Two Sons Twice Born (Paperback)
Two Sons Twice Born inspires strength, acceptance, love, trust, faith, and healing in those who read it. It had to be painful for Hilda Atkins Moore to pen this book. She had to relive so much tragedy, but by so doing, she is inspiring others with burdens that may seem insurmountable, as well as those seeking a greater understanding of our spiritual journey on this Earth. Hilda is humble, giving all glory to God. This story of spiritual growth through good times and tragedy leaves the reader with a greater determination to endure, love, and overcome.
