Forever within the memories of my heart.

Always remember, you are perfectly loved.

Bertie Jenkins has spent forty years serving as a midwife for her community in the Great Smoky Mountains of East Tennessee. Out of all the mothers she’s tended, none affects her more than the young teenager who shows up on her doorstep, injured, afraid, and expecting, one warm June day in 1943. As Bertie and her four sisters tenderly nurture Songbird back to health, the bond between the childless midwife and the motherless teen grows strong. But soon Songbird is forced to make a heartbreaking decision that will tear this little family apart.

Thirty years later, the day after his father’s funeral, Walker Wylie is stunned to learn he was adopted as an infant. The famous country singer enlists the help of adoption advocate Reese Chandler in the hopes of learning why he was abandoned by his birth parents. With the only clue he has in hand, Walker and Reese head deep into the Appalachian Mountains to track down Bertie Jenkins, the midwife who holds the secrets to Walker’s past.

Beautiful story of redemption and love

I loved this well written and well acted book! Speaks to this of us who has broken families and reminds we are chosen by God even when it appears we were a mistake. Thank you for this rich history of the Tennessee area too. Highly recommend reading and listening to!

Very sweet story

This is a beautiful story. The narrator was fantastic.
Much of the book was predictable but it was a story of love, sacrifice, and a reminder that there is a Master plan for all of us.

Captures the Heart of God

Some may think this is Christian fluff at first, but the story has depth and in my own experience, captures the way in which God meets suffering with his amazing ability to bring multi-dimensional healing, restoration, and wholeness. Worth the listen, especially for anyone recovering from loss or sorrow and need a reminder of God's mysterious plans to help get them through..

So Uplifting!

I so enjoyed this book and the storyline. It was interesting and educational with lots of quotes from the word of God. I highly recommend this book.

Very interesting read

I loved how the story’s from the past and present weave together. Such a well written story!!
