Two Weeks: A Novel (Paperback)

Elise wants to become the good girl she used to be, but discovers she’s pregnant. Eighteen and alone, she shares her secret with Cole. Undaunted by the news and in love for the first time, Cole is determined to support Elise—even if it means skipping university so he can marry her and raise another man’s baby. When Elise decides to give the baby up for adoption, she is matched with Aaron and Lucy Williams, who moved to Indiana to escape the emptiness of seven painful years of failing to start a family.

But as her due date draws near, Elise becomes torn. She has two weeks after the birth to change her mind. And she makes an unexpected decision—one that changes everyone’s plans.

• In this book, a young couple waits breathlessly to find out whether the birth mother of the child they're set to adopt will change her mind and keep the baby.
• Karen and her husband have adopted three boys, and their personal experience of the heartache and joy behind every adoption informs this book. Karen started the One Chance Foundation, which grants money to couples in need to complete the exorbitant and lengthy adoption process.
