Together for Good: A Novel
"Together for Good is an awesome read. It has a great plot with several unique twists and subplots. Instead of the same-old same-old, this time the story focuses on a woman who wanted a child and the birthmother reclaimed the child before relinquishing her rights. Now twenty years later, Abby needs to know if her almost-son was safe and doing well. . . .I had a warm fuzzy along with my clogged throat when I reached the end of the story, the kind that makes you want to sigh with satisfaction. The story didn't have a tidy, unrealistic ending, but one that glorified God! I loved this book and highly recommend it! Oh, and it was very romantic even without a lot of physical contact. Very well done!" (Michelleedgyinspirationalauthor.blogspot.com2006-09-01)"Together for Good is a beautifully written story of God's love and redemption for us all. In the midst of our pain, we often fail to see any good in the situation and are blinded to the overall picture God has painted regarding our lives. In her debut novel, Melanie Dobson has illustrated Romans 8:28 with tenderness and very real characters. Set in the beautiful Puget Sound, Melanie successfully weaves two storylines into a well crafted novel which highlights both the pain and joy of adoption and the effects of pollution on wildlife. Whether you have been touched by adoption or not, you don't want to miss this novel with its heart-warming characters and beautiful scenery." (Vennessailluminatingfiction.com2006-10-20)"Together For Good is the debut novel from author Melanie Dobson. As someone familiar with the adoption process, she brings first hand knowledge to the joys and pains of this difficult and sometimes heart-rending experience. This is an adoption book with a unique twist and a strong evangelical message that shows how even the most heartbreaking experiences can be redeemed into something beautiful."
