An Encouraging Story of the Reality of Jesus

I couldn't put this book down. I thank Lee for sharing her story. I am so encouraged.

A birthmother's point of view

I received this book as a gift from my aunt. I thought my family had resolved to forget that my rape and subsequent pregnancy and adoption of my daughter had ever happened. This book allowed me to realize that they had not forgotten. It allowed me to get inside of the mind of someone else who had been through the same thing I had gone through. It allowed me to realize I was not alone.I have gone through a lot of healing since my rape, but this was the first time I could actually point to someone else and say "See? She's just like me, and she's not a bad person either." It also helped me to realize a lot of my feelings towards God and resolve some of them. Thank you Lee for writing this book. God bless you and your families. May I someday have as joyous a reunion as you had with Julie.

This book helped me forgive my real mother!

I have known I was adopted for all my life, but never had a real since of peace...This book help me see my real mothers point of view and I feel-helped me to forgive her. I hope and pray it will Bless others as much as it Blessed me!

This book found me as I was browsing in a local bookstore!

The Ontario Adoption Registry had just notified me that one my daughters wanted to meet me. You see, I had given up two children for adoption in Toronto, Ontario in May, 1965. Then, twenty-three later the registered letter came in the mail that one of my daughters wanted a reunion. I then went to a local Christian bookstore to see if I could find something in the way of support. Lee's book 'The Missing Piece' just popped out at me...her story and mine are so miraculously similar...I just know that it was God's intention that I meet her within the covers of this heartwarming autobiography. I sincerely want to thank Lee Ezell for her courageous account and all the feelings and emotions that a young woman goes through under such tragic circumstances. Lee's faith in God proved to me that God is also working in my life. I now realize that my decision to relenquish my daughters was made out of love and concern for their futures... PS I have been reunited with both daughters and have an almost two year old grandson. Warmest Regards, Heather Hopkins Surrey British Columbia Canada e-mail heatherh@direct.ca
