Reclaiming Lily Book Tour


Reclaiming Lily
by Patti Lacy

About the book:
A storm the size of Texas brews when Gloria Powell and Kai Chang meet in a Ft. Worth hotel. They have come to discuss the future of Lily, the daughter Gloria adopted from China and the sister Kai hopes to reclaim. Kai is a doctor who had to give up her little sister during the Cultural Revolution and has since discovered that an inherited genetic defect may be waiting to fatally strike Lily.

Gloria's relationship with her daughter is tattered and strained, and the arrival of Kai, despite the woman's apparent good intentions, makes Gloria fearful. Gloria longs to restore her relationship with Lily, but in the wake of this potentially devastating diagnosis, is Kai an answer to prayer--or will her arrival force Gloria to sacrifice more than she ever imagined?

 My Review:
This is my first book from Patti Lacy, honestly I hadn't heard of her until I received this book.  But she is now going to be on my favorite authors list!  I find God's timing on things very interesting sometimes...  This is one of two book about adopting from China I have received in a two week period... (I mentioned this to my husband and he said to slow down!!!)

Ok back to the book...  An amazing story about a Chinese woman fulfilling her mother's last wish to reunite her 3 daughters with their younger sister who was adopted by an American family.  Although she finds her younger sister, God has much more in plan for her in order to bring Kai (the older sister) to Himself.  It was good to see into the religious thinking of a Chinese, and how they try to "woo" the fates and the struggle Kai had with "the Christian God". 

I would definitely recommend this book to friends and family!  It is a wonderful novel that sheds light to the birth family's search for a lost sibling, and the struggles the adoptive parents have if they are reunited! 

I was given this book by Litfuse Publications in return for my honest opinion.  The above review is mine and mine only! :)
