Wild Child, Waiting Mom is the story of a mother and daughter as they travel through 10 years of bad choices made by the daughter and heartache felt by the mother. Mother (Karilee) writes her perspective of each stage, telling about her spiritual journey, questions, prayers, and searching. She describes how God brought her the gift of hope, even when she thought her daughter was lost. Daughter (Wendi) writes what she was feeling and choosing, and why. Through jolting and intensely personal descriptions, Wendi chronicles her emotional life from the time she separated from God until the day she realized her helplessness and need to regain the faith of her childhood.

GREAT BOOK FOR ANY STRUGGLING PARENT!,
This review is from: Wild Child, Waiting Mom: Finding Hope In the Midst of Heartache (Paperback)
I am a single mother with adult children, one of whom is much like the wild child in this book. I found the book VERY encouraging as I read all of the struggles that this family went through and yet how they never gave up praying for her!! The daughter's choices and resulting consequences were extreme, putting her parents through true torture! I would highly recommend this book to anyone with heartbreak over a teen's or adult child's choices. It will encourage you to stay close to the Lord and KEEP PRAYING!

Help Amidst the Hurt,
By J. Porter "porterj12" (Sarasota, FL USA) - See all my reviews
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Wild Child, Waiting Mom: Finding Hope In the Midst of Heartache (Paperback)
From the first page, I realized that I finally found another mom who could identify with my heartbreak over a wayward child. But this book is so much more than that. It's a true story of how God changes lives in HIS time; not only the prodigal daughter's, but the hurting waiting mom's as well. I highly recommend this book to anyone who struggles with their adult child's choices. Through her own experience, Mrs Hayden has helped this waiting mom more than she can imagine. Although we are currently embedded in the midst of our journey I now have renewed hope and peace.

A Reality Check,
This review is from: Wild Child, Waiting Mom: Finding Hope In the Midst of Heartache (Paperback)
I was just at a Christian Camp called Fort Wilderness where much of this story takes place in McNaughton Wisconsin. I bought the book from the mother who wrote the book with her daughter. Her husband was the speaker this week. I had met this family over 20 years ago. This book has been such an encouragement to me of God's amazing Grace, especially because I can see these truths applied in more than just the mother & daughter relationships. Never give up because God has not. I applaud Karilee and Wendi for sharing this brutally honest story with us.
