The Waiting

The True Story of a Lost Child, a Lifetime of Longing, and a Miracle for a Mother Who Never Gave Up

It's never too late for a miracle.

When an old woman begs God to let her see the daughter who had been taken from her arms almost eighty years before - could her impossible prayer come true? In the summer of 1928, sixteen-year-old Minka was looking forward to a sewing class picnic. This would be a rare chance to put aside farm chores, don a pretty dress, and enjoy an outing with other girls. It would be a day to remember. And it was - but not in the way Minka had dreamed. Cornered by a stranger in the woods, the young girl was assaulted. Minka still believed that the stork brought babies; she would not discover for months that she was pregnant. The story that follows has been almost a hundred years in the making. What happens when a new mother must make a heartbreaking sacrifice to give her baby daughter the life she deserves? Can her cherished memories carry her through decades of turmoil, during a rapidly changing time in American history? And in the end, can she trust God for a miracle? The Waiting is an unforgettable true story of faith that triumphs, forgiveness that sets us free, and love that never forgets.

The love of a mother

This book reminded me that next to God’s love for His children, a mother’s love is the strongest in the universe.

excellent!

Have your kleenex ready because this book tugs at your heart strings. I'm so glad she shared her story!

Truth is better than fiction

Loved it. A true sweet love story. How precious is a mother’s love and that of our God.

Captivating and fantastic

Enjoyed every second of this audiobook!!! I felt a part of it and dreaded being done listening.

A resilient and remarkable woman of faith

Told with care for detail and great respect for Minkallo and her life’s story. At times the story got bogged down in the details. Her resilience and wisdom through hard times was amazing. And the way the Lord redeemed those lost years in the end is inspiring. Narration was easy to listen to, compelling.
