While Lyric attempts to break the monotony in her own life by trusting a stranger, she ends up getting more than she bargained for.Ultimately, fate steps in and thrusts the couple into a painful circumstance, forcing them both to re-evaluate their faith in eachother, in their relationship, and in God.Thankfully,Dwan has done a great job in showing that true, unconditional, agape love, the kind that can only come from the Father, really does conquer all.

Unconditional

Great story... The dedication Michael had to his wife Lyric despite their unconventional situation was uplifting. The story makes you believe that unconditional love does exist...

Who's Child?

In MY MOTHER'S CHILD by Dwan Abrams, Lyric Stokes wants nothing more than to produce a son for her husband, Michael. They have a daughter together, but Lyric wants Michael to have a son to carry on the family name. On the outside they appear to have it all. Michael is a doctor; they have the fancy home and luxury vehicles. But Lyric has been struggling to get pregnant again. Lyric starts to wonder what her purpose really is. Since Lyric is a stay-at-home mother, Michael suggests she start her own business to occupy some of her time. Innocently, Lyric takes the business card of a man she meets at a restaurant. Nigel Fredricks has been known to be a stalker. He stalked Dr. Skyler Little in the Abrams previous novel DIVORCING THE DEVIL. Nigel has now taken a liking to Lyric. She finally discovers she is pregnant, but only after a tragic event. Nigel believes they are meant to be together and will stop at nothing until he has her. How will the Stokes family handle the trials the face? Abrams weaves a tale of suspense as well as love. I admired the way that Michael loved Lyric unconditionally. I loved the message of family. I thought the author did a great job with the end of the story. This is a sequel to DIVORCING THE DEVIL, but it stands on its own. I recommend this book for a quick read.

Enjoyable

What does a perfect family do when life becomes unpredictable? The Stokes are soon to find out. Will their love for each other endure what God has allowed to happen? Dawn Abrams shares how a innocent smile and a business card can turn a family life upside down. As I read this book, I found myself wanting to read the last chapter to see how it would end. Curiosity was trying to get the best of me. As I maintained my self I was not disappointed.. it ended just the way it was suppose to!
