God Gave Me Diarrhea: A true story of God's Redemption through Adoption and Brain Injury

An Unlikely and Not-So-Funny Path to Redemption

Does God call us to difficult paths in order to transform us?

When Ann said yes to bringing two young foster boys into her home, she had no idea what a long haul she was signing up for. After two difficult pregnancies, Ann chooses to open her home to two foster boys who eventually became eligible for adoption. Raising them alongside her biological children, their paths become conjoined forever-riddled with constant behavior issues from one and health issues for the other.

Suddenly at age 27, the oldest son needs to return home after suffering a catastrophic brain injury. Ann becomes his caretaker and is faced with the hardest questions in her life. She throws up desperate pleas, unsure if the God she has believed in her whole life will hear her. In the process, love changes everything, and she comes face to face with the younger prodigal son who swore her out of his life. When all her life plans come suddenly to a halt, will God find her in the mire?

A journey rich in growth, truth, and forgiveness with a dab of humor, this compelling story will leave readers with a tear in their eye and hope in their heart.
