About this listen

"A child of my own. Flesh of my flesh...." That is the deep yearning that fills Tess' heart. Despite years spent under a doctor's care and advances in medical technology, she and her husband have discovered their options have been exhausted, leaving them with arms empty, long-held dreams shattered.

A unique opportunity arises in the form of a young pregnant teen desperate to free herself from her misguided decisions. Drawn together by their mutual needs, Tess and Sherry see a solution in what the other offers. But what appears to be an ideal agreement soon tests the fragile threads of Tess' fledgling faith.

Critic reviews

"Peterson examines an emotional issue with sensitivity and comes up with a surprising twist that fans will treasure." ( Library Journal)

Story good. Very thought provoking. Tess was slow “growing up” emotionally! Narrators voice for Tess was nasally & somewhat annoying. Overall would recommend.

Good message

This was a roller coaster of emotions! Topics of infertility, adoption, death, loss, abuse, drug addiction, etc. etc.
Having chosen to give my first child into the loving arms of an adoptive family, I connected with many of the emotions and thought they were honest and raw. This is beautifully written with a tender hand, I loved this story of hope and healing. I especially loved their growth in their relationships with God and each other!
