Endorsements
In her riveting novel, The Greatest Sacrifice, B.J. Bassett reveals an exceptional understanding of how adoption impacts everyone involved; the mother forced to give up her child, the adopting family, and the adopted child. All must sacrifice something, but as we follow the twists and turns of each character's journey, we come to realize that sacrifice is not always about having to give something up but can be about being an offering that is really a gift, as painful as the loss may be. Highly recommended for readers of Christian literature.
