Book Takeaway:

Why the author wrote this book:

I wanted to show readers how a 19th century woman who became pregnant after an assault dealt with society's disapproval. Women often were sent away until they gave birth and gave up the baby. In my book, Growing A Family, the heroine finds acceptance in a community of faith. She discovers love, peace and a new family as she accepts the Lord’s guidance.
