This book is a must read for all with even the slightest bit of compassion! I'm not going to give you a synopsis of the story, I'm sure others will, and I don't like writing them. I just want to share with you my experience with this story. First of all, I'm an OB nurse, and I really can connect on that level with both of the women Bradley writes about, although, since I'm not college-aged anymore, probably not quite as much with Marissa, the young mother! Anyways, the story quickly caught and
I had been looking forward to this book for the last few months but it really didn't meet the expectation. A fair warning - don't read the description, it takes you half-way into the book...which is just as annoying as all heck! The story has the bones to be both heart-wrenching and uplifting. Sadly, it does neither and wasn't nearly as well written as the last Laurel Bradley I read, "Trust No One." The story has several potentially interesting story lines at play, but none of them were really

For The Love Of David is a deep and beautiful novel that will take hold of your heartstrings on the first page and wont let go until the last. Marissa Fleming is a bright, pretty college coed on a clear path toward success. Libby Armstrong is an overweight receptionist with a gentle heart and a quiet, lonely life. The two women have nearly nothing in common, but they become profoundly connected when a distraught and desperate Marissa secretly gives birth to a baby boy.When Libby notices movement
Wow, this book had me hooked the first few chapters and then turned ridiculous. Characters making one bad choice after another. Lying, kidnapping, then talking about their faith and morals. The writing was so repetitive I skimmed page after page to see how it ends and missed nothing from the story. It was repeated for us at least 10 times that Libby likes Oreo cookies, then another 20 times that she lost weight not eating them, but then she looks in the mirror surprised she looks thinner after
