Title: Son of My Soul: The Adoption of Christopher
Author: Debra Shiveley Welch
I am from love.
Adopted son, Christopher Shiveley Welch could not have worded his heritage, his ancestry any better. In these few words, Christopher aptly sums up his inheritance, indeed his life. His inheritance defines the young man he has become. Love is what he is, as well as who he is.
Son of My Soul: The Adoption of Christopher is Debra Shiveley Welch´s testimony to a life full of trials, sorrows and struggles. It is a reflective journey of a difficult life that is finally conquered by love, the simple, all-encompassing love of a child. This is as much Debra´s story as it is Christopher´s, two souls forever bonded together. From the very first page, Debra invites the reader into her life to become part of her life. She tells her story as if she is telling her son his story, explaining her roots, which become his roots by adoption. She weaves a heartrending story full of the power of love and leaves us with a simple message that we are all gifts to each other and the gift we share is love.
Debra Shiveley Welch is an award winning author, a true storyteller and a gifted poet. At a young age, Debra turned to poetry for some solace when her entire world seemed to have gone mad. In the mid-1960s, it was Debra´s poem, "The Soldier´s Nightmare", that was read on the steps of the state house during an anti-war demonstration. Son of My Soul: The Adoption of Christopher has already won several awards, including the Books & Author´s Award for Literary Excellence, Best Non-Fiction Book of the Year 2007, and Faith Writer´s Gold Seal of Approval – Outstanding Read.
Son of My Soul: The Adoption of Christopher is a touching, heartfelt, and inspirational memoir, that grabs the reader from the first page. Son of My Soul: The Adoption of Christopher is highly recommended by: Emily-Jane Hills Orford, Allbooks Review. www.allbookreviews.com
