Life is always a little easier when we have a listening ear, an understanding heart, and a Hand to Hold. A Hand to Hold is the tale of a young Ethiopian orphan named Adina, adopted at five years old and brought to the United States of America. Under her new parents' love and care, she blooms and tries to assimilate to her new home, but she also finds herself longing to know her biological parents, and what happened to them. As she experiences life from childhood to adulthood, Adina always feels a piece of her soul is missing. Then through an unexpected encounter with a caring and loving man interested in her story, Adina begins to heal her past and is offered a hand to hold for her life forward. Throughout Adina's story, we learn about one woman's failures and triumphs as she swims against the currents and, in the end, finds that all she needs is to peel back the layers of her own complexities, trusts her inner voice, and allow her soul to evolve.
