Product Description
John Baxter hires a private invstigator to fulfill his wife's dying wish--that they find their firstborn son and make him part of the Baxter family.

From the Inside Flap

A Desperate Search

Driven by his wife’s dying wish—to find their firstborn son—John Baxter sets about the search of a lifetime. His prayer? That Elizabeth’s wish would be fulfilled before the upcoming Baxter family reunion. One strange turn follows another, but John confides in a new friend and continues to look for his son. When the answers finally come, they shake John to his core. Will he agree to walk away and keep the secret of a lifetime, or will he decide it’s time to let the truth come to light—no matter the cost?

A Tragic Loss

Dayne Matthews is questioning his adoptive parents’ faith when he receives crushing news. He was ready to take on the responsibility of having a family, but now the future is drastically altered and Dayne is desperate for answers. Wisdom and comfort come from visits with a long-lost friend and then with Katy Hart, the girl Dayne can’t seem to forget. But will Dayne find the strength he needs to face a future laced with loss, and will that strength lead him to the greatest love of all?

A Terrible Storm

As the Baxters come together, the reunion is overshadowed by a miracle in their midst. But just as quickly, tragedy comes to Bloomington. Ashley is eight months pregnant and in the early stages of labor when a tornado rips through the community, leaving one family missing and destroying homes throughout the area. What will Dayne Matthews do when he hears about the storm? Will he finally find peace in a God he has been running from all his life?

A story of God’s divine leading and the truth that God rewards those who seek Him with all their heart.

5.0 out of 5 stars Karen Kingsbury at her best, AGAIN!!, August 17, 2006

By	S. Clark "joemel mom" (Charleston, WV United States) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

Found is another exceptional book by Karen Kingsbury. This continues the saga of The Baxter family, Dayne Matthews and Katy Hart. Dayne and Katy continue in their relationship, still trying to overcome many obstacles. The Baxter family (namely Ashley) continue to be blessed. John Baxter attemmpts to contact his firstborn son. Dayne attempts to come to terms with his past and find his Lord. This is a really good book. Give yourself plently of time to read, because you will want to read it in one sitting. It ends like the other books in this series...counting the days until the next book comes out.

Finally, after a year of waiting for this next book which I couldn't wait to read - and I was not disappointed! There is a wonderful salvation message that just made my heart swell! I could not put this book down - as with all the other books in this series. No other author keeps my attention like Karen Kingsbury and I read this book in two days!

5.0 out of 5 stars great as usual, September 7, 2006

By	C. BREWER (Northern KY) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This was such a great book. I love all of Karen Kingsbury's books. As with the previous books, I could not put this one down, read it in 2 days. Now I just have to wait until the next one comes out. While they all touch my heart, the beautiful brokenness of Dayne Matthews and his search for significance and love really got to me this time. Read this one! It was wonderful.
