“Her once-hardened exterior had begun to crack...and all it had taken was a few extra minutes on our part and a willingness to meet a need. Kindness wasn't overrated.”
― Nicole Deese, Before I Called You Mine
“The way to shape a child's heart is through love. And the way to shape a child's mind is through literature. When you read to a child, you accomplish both.”
― Nicole Deese, Before I Called You Mine
“God is always on time.”
― Nicole Deese, Before I Called You Mine
“You may not know your child's name yet or what their face looks like when they laugh or cry, but God has already gone before you in this. He's already connected your heart to theirs in a way only He can. I know the wait can feel excruciating while one this side of things, but it's not in vain. There is purpose in the waiting, Lauren. Don't allow yourself to lose sight of that.”
― Nicole Deese, Before I Called You Mine
This is one of those books that simply grips your heart and soul from the minute you begin to the very last word.
I never lost sight of that emotional pull and the love that formed every character, plot, and setting.
The main character Lauren is at her own turning point in life in which she'll stay single for life if only to be able to adopt a child.
It's that Christian faith in which she pulls all her inner emotions and places them on the table in front of her Lord for her own salvation and peace.
It's a romance that's beautifully inclusive that takes readers breath away and wraps them into a warmth of body and soul.
Loved it all and hope you find this review well as it's a pleasure to have read this new work in Christian Fiction.
