I knew Tracey in college in the 90's. We weren't the closest of friends, but I always knew where she would be on Thursday at noon. After reading her book, I feel like I know her better now than I ever did back then. Every page was a thoughtful and emotional recount of the memories of motherhood.

If you are now or have ever thought about fostering or adopting, you should read this book. Just make sure you have a tissue handy for the last couple of chapters.

So real. So raw. Fields is a brilliant communicator.

Love this author and her honest approach to all things good and hard. Thankful for the way she can use any story or circumstance to Gods glory.

Great topic, but the writing wasn't up to par. I couldn't stick with it.
