About this listen

"A child of my own. Flesh of my flesh...." That is the deep yearning that fills Tess' heart. Despite years spent under a doctor's care and advances in medical technology, she and her husband have discovered their options have been exhausted, leaving them with arms empty, long-held dreams shattered.

A unique opportunity arises in the form of a young pregnant teen desperate to free herself from her misguided decisions. Drawn together by their mutual needs, Tess and Sherry see a solution in what the other offers. But what appears to be an ideal agreement soon tests the fragile threads of Tess' fledgling faith.

Critic reviews

"Peterson examines an emotional issue with sensitivity and comes up with a surprising twist that fans will treasure." ( Library Journal)

Great narration - she perfectly mastered the individual voices, I kept forgetting it was a solo narrator. Great characters - especially Sherrie. I love a Christian book; and this one gets the message across beautifully. When we feel prayers are being unanswered, keep faith keep praying and realise God may well have a different plan for us, which could ultimately turn out to be better and what we didn’t know we needed.

Excellent story
