Description
Karen lived an adventurous single life but longed for a family of her own. After years of maintaining her vow of purity and waiting for a man who shared her Christian faith, she fell in love with her best friend and co-worker. They married. She bore two sons. They divorced.
With humor, honesty and raw emotion, Valentin tells her story of wrestling between God's will and her own, with visions of happily ever after. In the midst of her weakness and grief, she experiences God's strength and restoration like never before. Through her family and friends, mission workers, the pastor of Graffiti Church, and her two beautiful boys, God turns her ashes to beauty and her sorrow into joy.
The Mother God Made Me to Be contains a discussion guide for book clubs and church groups.

Very inspiring memoir. Life doesn't always turn out the way we hope or expect it to. Karen's openness was so refreshing. I am a (former) single mom myself and it is a hard thing to go through with your head held high, especially for Christian women. I appreciate her sharing her story.

I love this book. As a future mother I look for books that will guide me in the journey that stands before me. Karen tells her story in a lovely way. It is funny and emotional. I hope my ride in motherhood will not affect my marriage.

What a privilege it is to be invited into another person's life. I often felt like I was reading Karen's very personal journal entries. I enjoyed Karen's warmth and honesty as she shared her experiences around a topic that is often taboo in Christian circles.
