Oh my goodness this movie is a heart wrenching tear jerker. I have not read this book though I have read many books by Kingsbury. This is such a well acted and beautifully shot film. Karen Kingsbury has such a way with words and it is evident in the script of this movie. There are certain lines that are heartfelt and real and that comes from a great story teller. This story doesn't shy away from the hard and honestly controversial topics in our society especially in regards to IVF. My only negative is that some parts of the film seem a tad slow in getting to the next scene or moving the story along at times. 

I also think that this is just an example of a possible outcome of a life of adoption via IVF. As with any type of adoption it isn't necessarily all happy and joy and found family when a person does discover their biological family. We want to think so and it is possible but often times that isn't the case. BUT these things can happen and God is working in so many ways we can't comprehend His plan. This film is a great example of that! 

Regardless this is a great movie that holds a lot of emotion. There is joy and there is some romance but mostly it's about dealing with the hard in life and Who to look to at all times. 

I recommend! 


*this film does deal with grief, death, infertility, IVF, and adoption.

Waiting for Morning Book Review



Waiting for Morning by Karen Kingsbury was a I chose because I am a fan of Kingsbury's writing. This book is so incredibly sad and realistic about a car accident and tragedy. The story focuses on Hannah Ryan as parts of her family are killed and her anger and hatred toward God and the world consume her. Kingsbury writes so well that you could feel the anger this woman felt and the sadness and hurt her living daughter goes through.

This book is definitely about forgiveness and how incredibly difficult is it sometimes to live a life as a Christian when everyone goes wrong.

I would recommend this book to anyone who likes Kingsbury and who doesn't want a light read, this is not a happy book to read. It has a great message but at times I really didn't want to read it because it is heart wrenching.
