highly recommended

Wild Child, Waiting Mom is the story of a mother and daughter as they travel through 10 years of bad choices made by the daughter and heartache felt by the mother. Mother (Karilee) writes her perspective of each stage, telling about her spiritual journey, questions, prayers, and searching. She describes how God brought her the gift of hope, even when she thought her daughter was lost. Daughter (Wendi) writes what she was feeling and choosing, and why. Through jolting and intensely personal descriptions, Wendi chronicles her emotional life from the time she separated from God until the day she realized her helplessness and need to regain the faith of her childhood.

Help Amidst the Hurt

From the first page, I realized that I finally found another mom who could identify with my heartbreak over a wayward child. But this book is so much more than that. It's a true story of how God changes lives in HIS time; not only the prodigal daughter's, but the hurting waiting mom's as well. I highly recommend this book to anyone who struggles with their adult child's choices. Through her own experience, Mrs Hayden has helped this waiting mom more than she can imagine. Although we are currently embedded in the midst of our journey I now have renewed hope and peace.

A Reality Check

I was just at a Christian Camp called Fort Wilderness where much of this story takes place in McNaughton Wisconsin. I bought the book from the mother who wrote the book with her daughter. Her husband was the speaker this week. I had met this family over 20 years ago. This book has been such an encouragement to me of God's amazing Grace, especially because I can see these truths applied in more than just the mother & daughter relationships. Never give up because God has not. I applaud Karilee and Wendi for sharing this brutally honest story with us.

Love, Understanding & Hope through faith in God

This book was chosen as the book of the quarter by the board of directors for Parents Helping Parents, Inc. in Edmond, Oklahoma

Both mother and daughter share their story of fear, frustration and disappointment in a very honest and open way that helps the reader feel deeply involved and captivated. Karilee struggles with questions for God like, "Does God even hear my prayers?" The book answers these questions and many more while giving testimony to His sovereign nature and the plan He has for every life. Wendi's return to faith is a powerful experience that will give hope to all that it is possible to be forgiven and restored regardless of the depth of one's addiction.

One of the most rewarding and unique aspects of this book is the question and answer portion at the end in which both mother and daughter answer the most frequently asked questions when they do public speaking. This was a real insight into what hurts and what helps.

Great for anyone with wayward teen...

This book gives you mom and daughter prospective. The book gives you real life circumstances that we all deal with and helps those going through family struggles know they are not alone and that there is hope.

great resource for hopeful parents of prodigals

Happy Mother's Day! This book is a great read, providing the story of both a wayward daughter and loving parents in their own words. One of the most helpful chapters is at the end: "Asking the Hard Questions." It provides some responses, both from Wendi (daughter) and Karilee (mom) to such questions as "How could you have been so blindsided by your daughter's rebellion," "What actions/words from friends helped you and what actions/words hurt you," "What advice would you give to parents to prevent children from making the same mistakes you made?"
Main idea: Never, never, never, never give up hoping and praying for God to do what only He can in your child's life.
