The Waiting - Cathy Lagrow

. .

Résumé :

It's never too late for a miracle.

Now with a new afterword! A five star-reviewed, unforgettable story that bestselling author Homer Hickam calls one of the most eloquent, moving, irresistible true stories he's ever read. The Waiting will touch your heart and make you believe in love's enduring legacy, as well as the power of prayer.

In 1928, 16-year-old Minka was on a picnic in the woods when she was assaulted and raped. And suddenly this innocent farm girl--who still thought the stork brought babies--was pregnant. The story that follows has been almost a hundred years in the making. After a lifetime of separation, Minka whispered an impossible prayer for the first time: Lord, I'd like to see Betty Jane before I die. What happened next was a miracle. Written by Cathy LaGrow (Minka's granddaughter), The Waiting brings three generations of this most unusual family together over the course of a century in a story of faith that triumphs, forgiveness that sets us free, and love that never forgets. (As seen on The Today Show.)

This moving true story will:

• Capture your heart as it details the sorrow and restoration of a mother and daughter
• Inspire you to keep praying
• Leave you in awe over the redemption only God can bring

Prepare to have your heart touched as you experience this remarkable story of hope and answered prayer.
