When You Come Home [Paperback]

Matthew Meadors (Author)

Book Description

Publication Date: November 12, 2008

What happens when forgiveness, adoption and reconciliation converge in the form of a tiny baby? Miracles occur and lives are changed. A baby is left on an orphanage doorstep in Chongqing, China. Born with a heart defect and no chance of survival without surgery, her only hope is an elderly caregiver named Chien, a God of love and his son Yesu. A world away, in Sand Springs, Oklahoma, a woman named Katie Phelps has dreamed of becoming a mother her whole life but there are two problems: she can't get pregnant and her husband Aaron isn't convinced he wants to be a father. Growing up fatherless in the inner city left a hole in Aaron's heart that he'd blocked off from everyone - including God. As they stumble through the trying and expensive world of fertility, then into the equally complex world of foreign adoption, emotional battles and heart-wrenching decisions threaten to rip their marriage apart until God moves to bring them together in unforeseen ways.

This review is from: When You Come Home (Paperback)

I received this book for Christmas and couldn't wait to read it. Once I got started I couldn't put it down! The book deals with the fears and doubts of infertility, adoption and everyday miracles. I can't wait for this author's next book!!
