Erika Welby had a secret she thought no one would ever discover. But someone knew . . .
Erika’s worst fear is realized when her well-kept secret shows up on her doorstep. As she reaches out to the daughter she gave up for adoption nearly twenty-two years ago, her husband pulls away, leaving Erika with an impossible choice.
Reviews/Endorsements ...
“[With "solid writing" In FIRSTBORN] Hatcher believably builds suspense for the reader about Erika’s secret and pulls no punches as she convincingly portrays the agonizing emotions and far-reaching consequences of giving a baby up for adoption. Flashbacks are used effectively to flesh out the characters’ teen years, and Hatcher manages the multiple points of view adeptly. Although there is an obligatory CBA conversion scene, Hatcher avoids a neat wrap-up; the book’s conclusion makes allowances for the messiness of life. Hatcher, the author of 35 novels and novellas, is the recipient of both the Christy and the RITA Awards, so it’s no surprise that this is a well-written inspirational novel.” — Publishers Weekly
With realistic dialogue, solid description, and flashbacks that build the story one layer at a time, Hatcher creates lives you’ll care about. Erika, Steve, and the others are flawed, unsure, adrift—and familiar. They could be your neighbors, your coworkers, your friends from church, your own family. The universal struggle for forgiveness will have you praying alongside them as you read. — Christian Book Distributors
