About this product

Product Information

"Will you take her?" she asks. When Beth Nonte Russell travels to China to help her friend Alex adopt a baby girl from an orphanage there, she thinks it will be an adventure, a chance to see the world. But her friend, who had prepared for the adoption for many months, panics soon after being presented with the frail baby, and the situation develops into one of the greatest challenges of Russell's life. Russell, watching in disbelief as Alex distances herself from the child, cares for the baby -- clothing, bathing, and feeding her -- and makes her feel secure in the unfamiliar surroundings. Russell is overwhelmed and disoriented by the unfolding drama and all that she sees in China, and yet amid the emotional turmoil finds herself deeply bonding with the child. She begins to have dreams of an ancient past -- dreams of a young woman who is plucked from the countryside and chosen to be empress, and of the child who is ultimately taken from her. As it becomes clear that her friend -- whose indecisiveness about the adoption has become a torment -- won't be bringing the baby home, Russell is amazed to realize that she cannot leave the baby behind and that her dreams have been telling her something significant, giving her the courage to open her heart and bring the child home against all odds. Steeped in Chinese culture,Forever Lilyis an extraordinary account of a life-changing, wholly unexpected love.

    Wonderfully written.

    What a beautiful written story. i feel as though I walked in the same shoes as the writer. i too adopted a little girl from Nanchang China, and stayed in the same hotel. her experiences and feelings she felt were tha same as i. I would recommend this book highly. You can understand the feelings that the writer went though.

    I haven't had the chance to read it yet

    I bought it for a friend who is adopting from China. I have not read the book myself yet, but it sounds sort of unique.
