The Waiting: The True Story of a Lost Child, a Lifetime of Longing, and a Miracle for a Mother Who Never Gave Up

Now with a new afterword! A five starâ€“reviewed, unforgettable story that bestselling author Homer Hickam calls â€œone of the most eloquent, moving, irresistible true storiesâ€ heâ€™s ever read. The Waiting will touch your heart and make you believe in loveâ€™s enduring legacy, as well as the power of prayer.

In 1928, 16-year-old Minka was on a picnic in the woods when she was assaulted and raped. And suddenly this innocent farm girlâ€”who still thought the stork brought babiesâ€”was pregnant. The story that follows has been almost a hundred years in the making. After a lifetime of separation, Minka whispered an impossible prayer for the first time: Lord, Iâ€™d like to see Betty Jane before I die. What happened next was a miracle. Written by Cathy LaGrow (Minkaâ€™s granddaughter), The Waiting brings three generations of this most unusual family together over the course of a century in a story of faith that triumphs, forgiveness that sets us free, and love that never forgets.
