Chick Lit Café Book Review
There is an extraordinary bond between families that stretches throughout time regardless of how much time we spend with each other. As parent and grandparent, I can’t imagine how terrible it must be to have to give away your child. In Blessed to be Unwanted, Candace Webb-Henderson takes us a journey that begins in desperation and ends in a timeless love between mother and daughter. Best of all, this is a true story that brings hope and joy to its readers.
At the end of World War II, a mother, desperate and alone, and with her heart breaking, hands her baby to strangers on a street corner. The baby was only five days old and was the author, Candace Webb-Henderson’s own mother. Never to see her family again, the baby is raised far away from the life she could have known.
One can’t imagine the pain and heartache the child must have experienced. Questions about her parents and their lives must have haunted her from the time she became aware of her history. But this is not a tale of bitter disappointment or regret. Instead, Henderson retells a story of great heroism and courage. She shows that through the love of her adopted family, her mother grew into a strong woman and lived a most remarkable life.
This is definitely a story that could be shared with teens and young adults in your life. This historical aspect highlights the horrors of war and the consequences that affect individuals as power brokers wheel and deal people’s lives away. There are moments of suspense and mystery that will keep you glued to each page. And, of course there’s love, romance and humor – yes, the author shows us how joy and laughter can light the darkest of times.
I have no doubt that you will love this book and it will become one of your favorites. It is the sort of book that you will return to when you need your faith in humanity restored and made new. You will be reminded of how important each and every individual is and the impact we all can have on improving each other’s lives.
