Review "... as Bauers story confirms, Ive had one thought about adoption right all along: It is an act of love. This book, though, is not just for those with a stake in the adoption process. Its for anyone who understands that at any moment there are threads of pain and joy and conflict and redemption winding through the lives around them, and who would like to hear about one such set of life experiences, in an extended story compellingly told." -- David Banks, Assistant Editor, Editorial/Opinion, Star Tribune "Bauers story is an emotional tale that will have readers glued to the page. Bauer infuses a very serious and beautiful story with humor, warmth, and wisdom... A simultaneously heartwarming and heartbreaking tale about time and love lost, rediscovered, and strengthened." --Publishers Weekly, Book Life Awards Review, Semi-finalist "Bauer deftly addresses one of the most wrenching and emotional decisions one might confront: how to respond to an unexpected pregnancy. With candor and grace, she leads readers on a thought-provoking journey filled with unexpected twists and turns. I couldnt put it down." --Caryn M. Sullivan, author of Bitter or Better: Grappling with Life on the Op-Ed Page, winner of the 2015 Midwest Book Award for Inspiration"On its surface, Christine Bauers Those Three Words is an engrossing memoir detailing a young birth mothers hard path toward fulfillment and happiness. But even stronger currents race deeper down, about the difficulty of acceptance, the power of family, and the nature of love. Reading it is a moving and unforgettable experience." --Jack El-Hai, author of The Nazi and the Psychiatrist and The Lobotomist and past president of the American Society of Journalists and Authors Details ISBN1634892305 Pages 256 Language English Year 2019 ISBN-10 1634892305 ISBN-13 9781634892308 Format Paperback Publication Date 2019-04-16 Imprint Wise Ink Subtitle A Birth Mothers Story of Choice, Chance, and Motherhood Illustrations 4 Illustrations Author Christine Bauer Publisher Wise Ink UK Release Date 2019-04-16 Audience General We've got this At The Nile, if you're looking for it, we've got it.
