Here's what the back of the book has to say...
Jack and Molly Campbell enjoyed an idyllic life in their small hometown outside Atlanta with their adopted 4-year-old, Joey. Then they receive the phone call that shatters their world: a social worker delivers the news that Joey's biological father has been released from prison and is ready to start life over--but with his son. When a judge rules that Joey must be returned to his father, the Campbells, in a silent haze of grief and utter disbelief, watch their son pick a dandelion and blow the feathery seeds into the wind. Struggling with the dilemma of following the law, their hearts, and what they know to be morally right, the Campbells find that desperation leads to dangerous thoughts. What if they can devise a plan? Take Joey and simply disappear...LIKE DANDELION DUST.
One thing I haven't talked about too much are the circumstances behind the custody battle for Ethan. Partly out of respect for the bio mom, who I found out occasionally reads my blog, and partly out of fear of bringing back all the fear of possibly losing him.
I can't tell you how many days we spent on our knees after a call from the social worker.
We were regulars at the alter during the adoption. We knew that only God was in control of the situation. I'm so thankful that everything's finalized and settled and we have security knowing that he's forever ours.
Anyway, I'm 5 chapters into this book and so far I'm enjoying it.
I'm just nervous about the rest of them...

It's a great book...I have it sitting on my shelf right here in front of me! They are in the process of making a movie of this too. It may be difficult for you to read, but press on. :o) Karen Kingsbury has adopted many children, so she knows the struggles that comes along with it.
wow!
That sounds like a really intense book!!! Keep updating what the new books are so I can stay updated lol
