In 1928, 16-year-old Minka was on a picnic in the woods when she was assaulted and raped. And suddenly this innocent farm girl?who still thought the stork brought babies?was pregnant. The story that follows has been almost a hundred years in the making. After a lifetime of separation, Minka whispered an impossible prayer for the first time: *Lord, I?d like to see Betty Jane before I die.* What happened next was a miracle. Written by Cathy LaGrow (Minka's granddaughter), *The Waiting* brings three generations of this most unusual family together over the course of a century in a story of faith that triumphs, forgiveness that sets us free, and love that never forgets.
