BIG VALLEY BULLETIN -- The Big Valley Library is pleased to have Carole Lauweryssen come speak on her book, Unspeakable Gift on Monday, March 7 beginning at 2 p.m. at the library. Unspeakable Gift is the story of a woman's reunion with her biological family. Adopted as a baby, Carole was reunited at the age of 30 with her roots, history and a promise of new completeness. Be engaged as you follow her path through the unknown, not only through reunion with her family but also in a moving spiritual journey that spans the decades before and after this life-changing event. Unspeakable Gift is a heartwarming and refreshingly joyful story, both inspiration to the reader and significant to families of birth children and mothers.
