Book Review and Author Giveaway~To Know You

To Know You, by Shannon Ethridge and Kathryn Mackel is a captivating story close to my heart.  Julia Whittaker's son Dillon is fighting for his life-he needs a liver transplant-and she is desperate to save her son.  They have not found a match, and in desperation, Julia reaches out to her daughters.  These are the daughters she has not seen since the days they were each born, the days that she gave them up for adoption.  As you might imagine, just being contacted by and meeting your birth mother for the first time is enough to turn your life upside-down, but then to be asked to give part of your liver to a brother you didn't know existed? Wow. 

I was reading To Know You every spare minute I had-I couldn't put it down.  It is a very well written book, with many twists and turns to keep your attention.  But I also had a personal interest, because I was adopted and when my son had uncontrolled seizures I set out to find my birth family to find out medical information that might help.  What an emotional roller coaster!  Although I didn't find out any helpful medical information, several meaningful relationships began.
