Two Weeks

A Novel (The Baxter Family)

By: Karen Kingsbury

Narrated by: Kirby Heyborne, January LaVoy

From number one New York Times best-selling 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 toward 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.

This is is my first book and it was great

It actually tells my life in a way I got pregnant at the age of 18 not really knowing the father I did not had Christ in my life but know I give him thanks for all I accept his plan This book was intense and will be reading more of your books Thank you

Wonderful story...Loved it!

I loved this book. Karen Kingsbury is truly gifted. She Keeps you wanting more with incredible stories that are all full of emotion. I highly recommend this book and all of the Baxter Family books!

Thoughtful and intriguing

The story intertwines with several people, all tied into the same end game. The perspectives are deep. Makes you think and wonder how you would respond if you were in their shoes. Great spiritual applications in the characters decisions.

Two Weeks

This book was very special. Yes I was very pleased to hear this amazing author speak for a long time thanking all her staff and affiliates of all her books and screen staff.

For those of you that read this, "The Baxter's" a film will be seen on TV as a series starting March 28 on Prime Video. It will be on the Computer screen and on TV. I will use Netflix to get it after joining the membership for it. It is such a wonderful series that Karen Kingsbury has written and had produced.

Awesome Storyline!

Karen Kingsbury is such a great writer. I was crying, feeling the pain and so caught up like it was my family’s lives. When Cole was leaving for college it was just like I was there and I had watched him grow up.
Karen, keep writing and keep bringing us stories of love, tragedy, triumph and laughter!!!

Karen Kingsbury does it again!

Loved it and couldn't stop listening! Captivating story that showcases feelings from so many different angles and how life intersects and brings surprises but God is good and has a ultimate plan.

Fantastic!

I love Karen Kingsbury books, and this one did not disappoint. Beautiful narration. A book anyone would love.

So much emotion

What a wonderful beautiful story. God is so good to all of us no matter our life story. This book shows us how wonderful He truly is and how His love for us is gracious and kind. I look back on my own story and see where He stepped in. Thank you Karen Kingsbury for another heart felt read!!

Karen Kingsbury- Does it Again! Captivating story!

Amazing story tying in stories of several families pointing to how we are all interwoven in this small planet.

Good book, but not her best

After the Redemption and firstborn series, I guess I just expected more of a story about Ashley's son. It would be a good stand alone book, but not if your all ready in love with the Baxter's (like me!) Also, I disliked adding a family only to have their daughter killed. Also, it was a little uncalled for. But if you want more of John and Elizabeth's grandkids, I ABSOLUTELY recommend "Someone like you."
