In Search of Eden

In Search of Eden by Linda Nichols is the story of an unwed teenager who is forced to give up her baby for adoption and the subsequent search for her child.

Miranda DeSpaino begins her search after her mother's death when her aunt gives her an envelope postmarked "Abindgon, VA" containing a baby picture. While she eventually finds her child, along the way she also finds out about her family heritage explaining her deceased mother's coldness, an unexpected visit from her long-lost father, a brother she didn't know existed and a new family.

In the end, she makes a decision of love and also finds forgiveness, redemption and God's grace.
