Okayest Mom: A Review & Giveaway
Many (most?) moms have a tidy life plan when it comes to their home and family.
… And if we’re honest, adopting children can throw those tidy plans into utter chaos.
Such was the case for Natalie Gwyn, author of the newly released book, Okayest Mom. In this enjoyable memoir, Gwyn chronicles raising 6 children, 4 of whom were adopted … at one time … from Ethiopia. She uses humor–and her trademark authenticity–to share how God led her and her husband to adopt, and then how God brought growth and bonding to their family in big ways.
Her lighthearted narrative begins with the nudge of God toward the uncomfortable. And isn’t that where the growth happens?
The book is already receiving lots of positive attention. Earlier this year, Kathie Lee Gifford shared the book as one of her favorite things on the Today Show. And our own staff has enjoyed reading the book and getting to know Natalie.
Natalie uses humor and transparency in a redemptive way, through the trials and challenges of the adoptive journey.
