About Product:
When Paul Danforth gets introduced to the LDS Church, it seems to have what he's been looking for: a breathtaking purpose to life, direction from a loving Heavenly Father, and a promise of eternal families. More than anything, he wants to share what he's discovering with Elizabeth, his wife.
Elizabeth, though, wants nothing to do with her husband's search. Her childhood has left her bitter toward God, and the last thing she wants is religion or faith. Besides, she has a search of her own - a search for her mother, whom she has never known. Moved from foster home to foster home during her youth, Elizabeth has wondered all her life who her mother is and why she gave her baby-Elizabeth-away. The only link she has to that unknown past is a baby ring with the initials K. L. engraved inside the band. Even a loving husband and baby of her own cannot fully ease Elizabeth's yearning for the mother she never had.
For reasons she doesn't fully understand herself, Elizabeth joins a volunteer organization to help young mothers-to-be and new mothers. She works to provide care, clothing, food, and support for desperate young women, some of them teenagers. The cases she sees suggest new possibilities for her own background. But her work also brings her into contact with Jesselene Manning, the head of the organization and a Latter-day Saint.
Jesselene has the compassion and the efficiency Elizabeth has always wanted to develop, and a close bond forms between the two women. Jesselene may be just the person to help Elizabeth come to terms with her past. And perhaps, with enough love from her husband and new friends, her heart may finally open to the healing influence of the gospel.
