From #1 New York Times bestselling author Karen
Kingsbury comes a heart-wrenching and redemptive new story
in the Baxter Family series about a couple desperately
waiting to bring their adopted child home and a young mother
about to make the biggest decision of her life.
Cole Blake, son of Landon and Ashley Baxter Blake, is months
away from going off to college and taking the first steps
towards his dream—a career in medicine. But as he starts his
final semester of high school he meets Elise, a mysterious
new girl who captures his attention—and heart—from day one.
Elise has her heart set on mending her wild ways and
rediscovering the good girl she used to be. But not long
after the semester starts, she discovers she’s pregnant.
Eighteen and alone, she shares her secret with Cole.
Undaunted by the news, and in love for the first time in his
life, Cole is determined to support Elise—even if it means
skipping college, marrying her, and raising another man’s baby.
When Elise decides to place her baby up for adoption, she is
matched with Aaron and Lucy Williams, who moved to
Bloomington, Indiana to escape seven painful years of
infertility.
But as Elise’s due date draws near, she becomes focused on
one truth: she has two weeks to change her mind about the
adoption. With Cole keeping vigil and Lucy and Aaron waiting
to welcome their new baby, Elise makes an unexpected
decision—one that changes everyone’s plans.
Tender and deeply moving, Two Weeks is a story about
love, faith, and what it really means to be a family.
