Description

Andrea June was given up by her family for adoption before she was two years old. Andrea was introduced to a family that already had two boys, one of them being severely disabled. Despite Andrea’s poor health, this young family adopted her, and changed her name to Kari Ellen.

Growing up was very difficult for Kari. She wasn’t exactly the daughter her new mom hoped to have. Her father sexually abused her. By the time she was thirteen, her parents sent her away.

Peniel Christian School, a non-profit ministry, accepted troubled children from across the country and from every walk of life, ranging from criminal gang members to others simply with ADHD. This was Kari’s home for the next five years.

Living on a seventy-seven-acre farm in rural Wisconsin with forty other children promised many adventures. It was at Peniel that Kari accepted Jesus as her Savior, and saw her need to forgive her dad.

Years later, Kari met her husband Drew in Nashville, Tennessee. Since they wanted to have children, researching her family history became a priority. The startling information they uncovered changed her life forever.

God’s hand was surely at work . . . He had plans for her future.

Advance Praise

“God’s amazing redemption when one chooses to forgive. A Daughter To Many is a gripping story that pulls one in from the very first page. Be ready to work through every emotion from sadness to anger to amazement as Kari’s story unfolds. The reader will see God’s fingerprints all over this remarkable true story and will discern our Heavenly Father’s tender concern and redemptive power in His loving dealings with a child who lost her way only to be found and transformed by love and her willingness to forgive. This is a must read! ”

“Beautiful reminder of God's faithfulness. Loved this book. It's a beautiful reminder of how God can turn even our most painful moments into good for His glory. This book is an easy read and pulls you in from the outset. I felt for Kari, laughed with her, questioned her, cried with her, and lived with her. While I have not experienced her exact pain, I have seen how God can use our pain (my pain) for His good, and it was inspiring to see how God used what she experienced to better her, her future family and others in the community. I encourage you to read this book and allow God to speak to you from its pages.”
