What impact will a dying mother’s tragic prediction have on the life of her newborn daughter? 

In the hectic halls of a mental hospital, a woman pleads with the nurses to attach a handwritten poem to the daughter she’s about to give birth to. The nurses tell the woman she’s overreacting because she believes she won’t survive childhood. But just as she predicted, the woman who gives birth to Sonnet slips away shortly afterward.

Sonnet has led a charmed life. She’s beautiful, a world-renowned violinist, and she’s engaged to a handsome man that seems to adore her. Adopted at an early age, Sonnet has never been curious about her birth mother until her 18th birthday - the day the woman who gave birth to her asked her to read the left-behind poem.

While she’s still trying to cope with her birth mother’s words, tragedy strikes, and in an instant, everything changes. How will Sonnet navigate life when she can no longer rely on her beauty and talent? As everything unravels, Sonnet learns that everything she counted on was just well-disguised quicksand.

How could her mother have predicted the future so well? Was she truly crazy or is there more to the story?

Then, Sonnet begins to receive poems from an unknown sender that launches her on a journey of self-discovery. Will she come to believe that God loves her for who she is on the inside? And even if he does, how could anyone else? A touching, heartwarming story that will leave you feeling hopeful about life and its possibilities.

Excerpt:

The woman looked around the room, panic overtaking her crystal blue eyes. “Sonnet”, she whispered breathlessly. “I want to name her Sonnet. And I need you to make sure this poem stays with her”.

The nurse, who had seen her fair share of nervous mothers in the delivery room, nodded and smiled. “Now give us a big push, won’t you dear”?

The woman took a deep breath and closed her eyes. She didn’t let go of the nurse’s arm.

And then she pushed. She forcefully expelled every fear, every sadness, and every regret she’d been holding inside of her for months."
