Thanks so much for the positive review ...Hi Holly,<br /><br />Thanks so much for the positive review of our book. It was our hope that by sharing our story we would be able to inspire others to face the tough challenges that come into their lives with honesty, love and kindness. <br /><br />Writing the book was also therapeutic for us. I think it allowed us to process our experiences and give them meaning. We wouldn't be the people we are today without having been through this. <br /><br />We were very honest in the book about our more unflattering moments. It was such a frustrating experience, and that frustration manifested itself in some very ugly moments. I especially suffered from resentfulness, misdirected anger, and even jealousy. It was important to me to share those moments so that people would realize that imperfect people can navigate a challenging situation, having those "ugly moments", and still come out on the other side, as long as they cling to their faith and a strong moral compass! <br /><br />Again, thanks so much for the review. Sean saw it on Amazon and was so excited. He said, "We got a great review from a legitimate reviewer." I knew right away it was probably yours. I've been waiting to see what you thought of the book. <br /><br />All The Best,<br /><br />Carolyn10yrstillhopinghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06278746165617067733noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-297699931886361246.post-38452460044600584112011-03-29T05:46:13.179-06:002011-03-29T05:46:13.179-06:00Holly, Thanks so much for the positive review. I...Holly, Thanks so much for the positive review. I'm glad you thought it was a good read. The process of writing our story was very thereapeutic for us. I think it was helpful to process everything that we have been through. It makes me realize how far we have come in the past two years. <br /><br />We are so grateful for the three children that we get to raise. They bring so much happiness into our lives, and I think I appreciate the little moments more than ever! <br /><br />To the commenter who thinks that we make ourselves out to be so great, I hope if you decide to read the book you will see we were very honest about our more unflattering moments. It was important to us to be honest in our account of what we went through, which meant revealing some of our uglier moments. It's our hope, that by doing so, readers will be inspired to accept that we are all human. That we can have moments born out of frustration, recover from them and move to higher ground!<br /><br />All The Best,<br /><br />Carolyn Savage10yrstillhopinghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06278746165617067733noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-297699931886361246.post-10154600312761958792011-03-28T16:13:21.090-06:002011-03-28T16:13:21.090-06:00Horrible Horrible.

I feel bad for the Savages, but I also feel like they're making themselves sound almost too good.

Having never been pregnant, I don't know if I could give up a baby that I was carrying, even if I knew it wasn't mine.
