Description
 
Will you take her? She asks

"Forever Lily" is the extraordinary account of one woman's journey to China to support a friend adopting a baby and the dramatic turn of events that lead to an unexpected--and life-altering--decision. Bethe Nonte Russell travels to China to help a friend adopt a child as something fun to do. The friend becomes overwhelmed and guess who ends up adopting the child...

When Beth Nonte Russell travels to China to help her friend Alex adopt a baby girl from an orphanage there, she thinks it will be an adventure, a chance to see the world. But her friend, who had prepared for the adoption for many months, panics soon after being presented with the frail baby, and the situation develops into one of the greatest challenges of Russell's life.

Russell, watching in disbelief as Alex distances herself from the child, cares for the baby -- clothing, bathing, and feeding her -- and makes her feel secure in the unfamiliar surroundings. Russell is overwhelmed and disoriented by the unfolding drama and all that she sees in China, and yet amid the emotional turmoil finds herself deeply bonding with the child. She begins to have dreams of an ancient past -- dreams of a young woman who is plucked from the countryside and chosen to be empress, and of the child who is ultimately taken from her. As it becomes clear that her friend -- whose indecisiveness about the adoption has become a torment -- won't be bringing the baby home, Russell is amazed to realize that she cannot leave the baby behind and that her dreams have been telling her something significant, giving her the courage to open her heart and bring the child home against all odds.

Steeped in Chinese culture, Forever Lily is an extraordinary account of a life-changing, wholly unexpected love.

Forever Lily November 7, 2007
Reviewer: Carmen Canavati from Houston, TX United States  
I read the book in 2 days - couldn't put it down. It reminded me of when we adopted our daughter 4 years ago. I loved the way she wrote the book and if you've ever been to China/adopted a child, she just brings back all the memories of that unforgettable trip. This is an amazing story - couldn't stop crying too!
