“Twenty five years ago I watched the Lewis family work through the brokenness, pain and loss described in Bittersweet. Now, twenty-five years later, I am also witnessing the remarkable restoration and joy that God has brought to the whole family. You will be encouraged that God does not forget the cries of our heart.”

“Bittersweet is pure joy. Bring handkerchiefs! Gay Lewis frames a window to God’s heart in her deeply moving story of her daughter’s unplanned pregnancy. She walks us through the gripping pain of crisis in a tightly-knit family, the bittersweet loss of her first granddaughter given for adoption, and the restoration of her own daughter. Over the years the family walks paths of renewal and grace they never expected to encounter. Then, in a finish that only God could fashion, we are shown that He is always at work, even when we can’t see Him, preparing the best for us.”

"There are so many tragic and unhappy stories about unexpected and unwanted pregnancies out of wedlock. Gay Lewis poignantly shares one that is beautifully framed in the context of the grace and transforming love of Jesus Christ. This story is born out of her family's personal pain and heartache, and majestically moves into joy and celebration by the touch of the Master's hand."
