Mama Buzz Tour: Jantsen’s Gift: A True Story of Grief, Rescue and Grace by Pam Cope
Book Name: Jantsen’s Gift by Pam Cope

Published by: Hachette Book Group
This is a Mama Buzz review. The product was provided by: Hachette Book Group for this review.
Jantsen’s Gift should be waiting for me to read it at my grandmother’s home in the city. I’m looking forward to digging in and hopefully I’ll be picking it up there on Friday. Pam Cope has penned a story born of her own experiences and struggles.
When her fifteen year old son died unexpectedly, she found herself sinking into the mire of deep depression and grief. A visit to Vietnam forever changed her life when she encountered first-hand the poverty and abuse that is found outside of the ‘bubble’ many North Americans spend their entire lives in. Adopting two Vietnamese orphans, she went on to establish an outreach to orphans, and victims of human trafficking.
If you’ve been reading here for any length of time you may have noticed my passion for titles exploring the efforts that are being made to care for orphans, and to free children in slavery, to support those living in poverty. While you’re waiting for my full review, feel free to page through the book online with the widget below. You can also visit Mama Buzz to read reviews from those who’ve already finished reading their copies.
OK, this one’s going to the top of my book list. It’s so true that we live our lives in a bubble. What a wonderful way for her to find meaning after losing her son. I look forward to reading this book.
