the long version

""Well, what are we going to do about it, Patsy?" Alan asked. They were standing in the doorway of the empty nursery. Patsy's tears came. "Oh, honey, I didn't want to-." "I know, " he replied "But I've seen you-staring at each baby you see as if you'd like to grab it and run." When human efforts to bring a child into their marriage fail, Patsy finally turns the matter over to God in an act of desperate submission. Then many things happen at once. Alan's job takes him out of town more. Patsy worries about her widowed mother's new friend. An orphaned teenager moves in with them. Then, Alan and Patsy take his Sunday School class boys camping in the Okeefenokee Swamp, with disastrous results. Is there a baby in their future? Does God really care?"--Page 4 of cover
