Pam BurkePotosi, MOAge: 55-65Gender: Female5 Stars Out Of 5A great story that keeps you guessingJanuary 23, 2015Pam BurkePotosi, MOAge: 55-65Gender: FemaleA Child of Mine is the second novel that David and Beverly Lewis have co-written, and I certainly hope it is not their last. They have put together a heartwarming story that has major twists and turns throughout.
The characters drew me in quickly, and I was thoroughly engaged as their full stories came to light rather gradually. The more I learned of each one, though, I couldn't imagine any possible conclusion that could leave all of them living "happily ever after." Without giving any spoilers, I will warn that there is a fair amount of heartbreak along the way, mixed in with a good deal of happiness. Be prepared to shed a few tears as you read.
A Child of Mine is not typical Beverly Lewis Amish fare. There is an Amish character who fits in a major way into the main story line, but much of the story is non-Amish. The storytelling is still great, though, even in a more contemporary setting.
I highly recommend A Child of Mine to fans of Beverly Lewis's Amish fiction, as well as to anyone who enjoys great inspirational romance.
Thanks to Bethany House for providing a copy of this book in exchange for my honest review. -

deanna13Jonesboro, LAAge: Over 65Gender: female5 Stars Out Of 5Child of Mine by David & Beverly LewisAugust 8, 2014deanna13Jonesboro, LAAge: Over 65Gender: femaleChild of Mine by David & Beverly Lewis is a wonderful story that touches the heart. Kelly Maines has been searching eight years for her daughter who was stolen at birth, a victim of a black market adoption ring. Finally, Kelly has a lead on a young girl that just may be her daughter. This young girl is the adopted niece of Jack Livingston and he has been rearing her since the death of her adopted parents. Jack travels a great deal in his work and when he is gone, Laura, an Amish nanny. cares for Natalie and loves her as if she were her own. Kelly arranges a chance meeting with Jack and this meeting leads to more meetings and Kelly realizes that she is falling for Jack and he is falling for her. This happens before she gets up enough courage to tell him the real reason they met. As Kelly gets to know Natalie she begins to wonder if Natalie is really her daughter.
The authors did an excellent job in the development of the story. All the characters were so well developed that I felt as if I knew each one of them personally. I especially loved Natalie, a little girl that could steal anyones heart. All the scenes were so real that I could feel myself being right in the middle of what was happening. Dialogue was great and I especially loved everything that was uttered by Natalie. There were many twists and turns in the story and these kept me guessing as to which woman was really Natalies mother. When the real mother was revealed I must admit that I was somewhat surprised. The story had a great ending with everyone being happy and content.
I recommend this book to anyone that loves a great story that has love, forgiveness, laughter, and tears.
