A storm the size of Texas brews when Gloria Powell and Kai Chang meet in a Ft. Worth hotel. They have come to discuss the future of Lily, the daughter Gloria adopted from China and the sister Kai hopes to reclaim. Kai is a doctor who had to give up her little sister during the Cultural Revolution and has since discovered that an inherited genetic defect may be waiting to fatally strike Lily.
Gloria’s relationship with her daughter is tattered and strained, and the arrival of Kai, despite the woman’s apparent good intentions, makes Gloria fearful. Gloria longs to restore her relationship with Lily, but in the wake of this potentially devastating diagnosis, is Kai an answer to prayer–or will her arrival force Gloria to sacrifice more than she ever imagined?

My Review:
Emotions run high in adoption cases. For everyone included. The birth family, the adopted family and the child. Reclaiming Lily captures all those emotions in a great story line.
My mother as adopted as an older child. She was reunited with a member of her biological family as an adult. There are a lot of different emotions that are felt by the adopted child and the biological family. These emotions are portrayed very well in Reclaiming Lily.
Add in the inherited genetic defect story line, and you have a book that will keep you interested until the end. How does one overcome the challenging emotions of adoption as well as a potentially fatal diagnosis? With much prayer and sacrifice for you family. Read Reclaiming Lily for it’s emotional,faith filled story line. You won’t want to put it down until you’ve read the whole book!

Oh, Linda, thank you for sharing your personal connection with this story. All but one of my books have dealt with adoption. Yep, I’ve got two precious adopted brothers.
It’s readers like you that heap manna on a writer’s sometimes empty plate!!!!
Blessings,
Patti
P.S. Saw your farm connection. In my “neck” of Illinois (Normal!) here’s what one family has done. We visited last weekend and had a marvelous time!! http://www.raderfamilyfarms.com/
