Total Commitment

Middy was adopted by Tim Adams and Mary Simpson. They had just known each other for two days and were driving from St. Louis, headed west when Tim’s Volkswagen stopped on the interstate. They were found by a man in a pickup truck. He was desperate and, on his way, to find a doctor as his sister was in labor. He asked for their help and Tim and Mary agreed to help this stranger and soon found themselves in an old farmhouse. The lady was lying on the floor and moaning with pain. It was apparent that she was mentally ill as well. The baby was breech and Mary had no medical knowledge or experience. But after praying and asking God to help her, she was able to deliver this baby girl. The mother did not survive and her brother did not want to raise the child but wanted Tim and Mary to adopt her.
Tim and Mary did marry as they felt this little girl was meant to be their child. It took several days to meet the requirements to qualify for the adoption, but it all worked out for the newlywed couple and their little girl, Middy.
After Middy learned that she had been adopted, she wanted to find her biological father. Her adoptive parents had told her about her birth, their involvement and her mother not surviving. The items in an old shoebox given to her by her uncle helped her to start her journey to find her father and learn more about her mother.
Middy Adams became a very famous singer and loved being able to share her God given talent with others.
This story is a sequel to the novel, “The Shoebox” and continues to follow the life of Middy Adams and the many challenges for her and her best friend, Patsy Holt.
