MOUNTAIN GROVE, MO – Missouri couple Annie Laurie and Brian Richardson share their incredible adoption story in their new book releasing this month, “The Gathering.”

The book chronicles how a mother, with the support of her husband and children, searched for her missing children in the jungles of the Marshal Islands, the poverty-choked country of Vietnam, and the corrupt country of Haiti. It is also the heart wrenching story of a family that fought and struggled to find their children in the U.S. through private adoptions and state foster-care systems.

Published by Tate Publishing and Enterprises, the book is available at any bookstore nationwide or can be ordered through the publisher at www.tatepublishing.com/bookstore or by visiting barnesandnoble.com or amazon.com.

This is also an eLIVE title, meaning each copy contains a code redeemable for a free audio version from TatePublishing.com. eLIVE – Listen, Imagine, View, and Experience!

Brian and Annie Laurie Richardson live on a cattle ranch in Mountain Grove, Missouri, with all twenty of their adopted children and seven of their twenty-three grandchildren. They love serving in their church and community and plan on spending the rest of their lives helping others come to Christ.
