More about To Know You

| Julia
and Matt Whittaker's son has beaten the odds for thirteen years only to
have the odds---and his liver---crash precipitously. The only hope for
his survival is a "living liver" transplant, but the transplant list is
long and Dillon's time is short. His two older half-sisters, born
eighteen months apart to two different fathers, offer his only hope for
survival. But can Julia ask a young woman---someone she surrendered to strangers long ago and has never spoken with---to make such a sacrifice to save a brother she's never known? Can she muster the courage to journey back into a shame-filled season of her life, face her choices and their consequences, and find any hope of healing? And what if she discovers in her own daughters' lives that a history of foolish choices threatens to repeat itself? Julia knows she's probably embarking on a fool's errand---searching for the daughters she abandoned only now that she needs something from them. But love compels Julia to take this journey. Can grace and forgiveness compel her daughters to join her? In To Know You, Shannon Ethridge and Kathryn Mackel explore how the past creates the present . . . and how even the most shattered lives can be redeemed. | |

My review;
Wow! I really was engrossed in this story. What would any mother do to save her child's life? Would they open secrets that have been closed for years? Woud they have the strength to face going through all these trials, just to be told no? Julia Whittaker has some really hard decisions to make. Will her faith in God help her? This book also talks about how sacrifice for another is sometimes the best choice in our lives.This is a story about true family loyalty and a new sense of family. I give this book a 5/5. I was given this book by Litfuse Publicity Group and all opinions are my own.
