“The nurses were standing by. With tears in her eyes, one of them handed Ryan to me. For the last time, I held him tight to my bosom. And I cuddled him. Through my tears and quivering voice I said, ‘I love you, Ryan,’ then I kissed him on the lips and said good-bye.” Years of addiction, failed relationships and destroyed lives had taken their toll on Deb. None of these had affected her so deeply as the loss of Ryan. Teardrops Down The Nile is Deb Finney’s amazing true account of how, in the midst of extraordinary hardships, she found strength in the most unexpected places. It began with the author’s encouragement to an adoptive couple. A surprising, anonymous reply from Jennifer, the adoptive mom, ignites an ongoing exchange of letters no one is fully prepared for. Along the way, Deb discovers inspired evidence that there are no accidents, only events orchestrated by or allowed by an Ever Almighty God. Filled with coincidence, twists and turns, disappointment and triumph, Teardrops Down The Nile is an emotional roller coaster ride culminated by a consequential decision each woman must ultimately make to protect the ones they love. “Whether our decision can hold up to society’s untimely justice, surely time will tell, I told myself. And until then, only God could know enough to judge our intentions, our actions, and results destined for eternity.”
Book Description
Editorial Reviews
From the Publisher
A remarkable journey through heartache and despair. One woman's triumphant story about loss and what she endured to, ultimately, find more than just herself. A true source of inspiration for anyone experiencing loss, hardship or heartbreaking distance from those loved most.
A fulfilling emotional roller coaster ride that is both hard to put down and terrifically satisfying. An account that requires a box of tissues, not so much about loss, but instead, about what one woman found when she least expected it. And the lessons we all may learn as result.
Truly inspirational.

An INSPIRING account of adoption and recovery. As the reader I was allowed into this very honest and touching true story. The two mother's many years of correspondence is remarkable and makes this book unique and personal. TWO THUMBS UP!!
