"I have written that motherlove is not Inevitable, that the good mother is a great artist ever creating beauty out of chaos, and Starbuck's put the quotation on a few million cups.  Lauren Braddock is a great artist. She turns the  chaos of infertility land and at risk pregnancy land into a story that inspires and astounds. Lauren's quirky intelligence and deeply rooted joy transform this difficult journey into a  wise and jagged smile of a tale. It's a very good thing to see genius Bobby Braddock's daughter manifest a brilliance all her own."
 — Alice Randall, The Wind Done Gone, Rebel Yell, and My Country Roots

"Lauren Braddock Havey writes fearlessly.Her story is compulsively readable. A triumph of the human spirit! A Journey To the Son is a mother of a book.I couldn't put it down!"

 — Marshall Chapman, singer, hit songwriter, and author Goodbye Little Rock 'n' Roller
