In 1989, Lores- a young, unwed mother- delivers a baby girl in a small Texas town. Determined to give her daughter a life she can’t provide, Lores gives Agnes to a wealthy Chicago couple. Lores lives with the consequences of that decision for the rest of her life. At the same time in a small Ohio town, Jillian, an aspiring teacher, also faces the outcomes of her choices that change her life forever. Years later, Agnes gains a voice. Her childhood is not the one Lores had imagined. Agnes navigates the darkness, finding her way with heaven-sent friends, coaches, teachers and advisors. In ways only explained through divine intervention, the lives of Lores, Jillian and Agnes intertwine, weaving a story like no other.
Spanning more than two decades, Finding Her Family shows the resiliency of the human spirit, and the God-given strength needed to overcome severe abuse and neglect. It is an amazing story for anyone longing to see God’s plan and provision in the ordinary, His love in life’s difficulties and His redemption triumph over all.
