She also shares stories of her own family, and the laughs, worries and love her twelve children-nine of them adopted-have brought into her life. There are chapters for sisters and brothers, husbands and wives, sons and daughters, adoptive families, blended families, extended families and even the people who feel like family.These inspiring stories include:– A woman who received an unexpected gift on Christmas-a beautiful baby boy – A stranger's miraculous encounter with a young girl that finally helps her grieve for her father– A fractured family reunited by a love that knows no distance– A son who returns from the war to surprise his father with a Purple HeartThe real families, real grace and real love showcased here make this a collection to cherish.
