Product Description
by Elizabeth Willoughby Wagenaar (Author)
"Her cries went unheard at home-but across two thousand miles, her birth mother listened."
Across two thousand miles, Wanda felt the silent cries of the daughter she had surrendered.
With longing hands, she painted the face she saw in dreams-each brushstroke a prayer for the child she could not hold. Years later, Beth stood before that portrait and saw herself looking back-proof that a mother's heart can find her child, even when the world has kept them apart.
Adopted at six weeks old by a woman who falsified her application, Elizabeth Ann Wagenaar (Beth) appeared to have it all. But behind closed doors, her life told a different story-one of secrecy, abuse, and silence. Her adoptive mother's words cut deeply, her father turned away, and the little girl longed for someone to hear her cries.
Finally Fabulous intertwines Beth's raw memories with her birth mother's powerful words, bringing together two voices separated by loss but bound by love. What begins as a story of trauma and betrayal becomes a powerful testament of faith, healing, and redemption.
This unforgettable memoir is for readers who:
- Are moved by true adoption stories filled with honesty and emotion
- Are seeking healing and encouragement through stories of resilience
- Want a book club read that sparks deep, meaningful conversation
- Believe in the unbreakable bond between mother and child
"This is more than an adoption story-from secrecy to survival, from trauma to triumph: I am Finally Fabulous."
