Adoption can be tough on anyone, but being a teenager adopted and moved to a new country? Whoa... Rume Emma-Okerhe's Rains of Mercy tackles a lot of tough topics. Listen in and see why I think it's such an important book.

I love books that tackle tough topics, and this one tackles loss, adoption, culture shocks, teen pregnancy, and the love of a woman who didn't give birth to you or see you grow up from a small child. How amazing is that?

Rains of Mercy by Rume Emma-Okerhe

A Millennial's Story of Self-discovery and Faith

Tehillah loses everything in a bomb explosion.

She gets adopted by strangers.

She relocates a thousand seas away from the country of her birth and heart.

And… then ends up with a malicious adoptive sister.

She struggles with culture shocks, low self-esteem, ends up in a dodgy relationship and becomes a single mum.

Will Tehillah find a way to rebuild her life, rediscover her worth, and experience the mercies of a God who loves her more than she can imagine?

Will she ever accept Mrs Ezegwu as her mother? And will she stop seeing Jordan as the shorter, younger boy she could never like?
