On his very first day in our home, Jaxon already felt safe enough to sit down and write a letter to the tooth fairy, our first glimpse of his sweet heart.

Discover the inspiring true story of faith, infertility, foster care, adoption, and God's unwavering faithfulness. Through heartbreak, hope, and unexpected miracles, Mint to Be reminds us that even when we cannot see the path ahead, God is already writing a greater story.

When there was no way, God made one.

Misty and Travis had raised their biological children nearly to adulthood and believed their family was complete. Then, alone in the quiet of her dining room, Misty heard God speak three words to her heart: Open your home. Within the week, without either of them saying a word to the other, Travis reached out asking what she thought about adopting a child who needed a forever family. Neither of them had planted that idea. God had spoken to both of their hearts at once.

That calling led to Jaxon, an eight year old boy who needed a forever family. What followed was a season of miracles, one after another, doors opening that had no business opening, until one morning a single mint landed in a trembling hand with three words printed across the wrapper: Mint to Be.

Written with warmth and unflinching honesty, Mint to Be is for anyone who has ever felt entirely alone, faced a challenge too big to carry, or wondered whether their hardest chapter could still end in grace.

Available in paperback and ebook. Want yours signed? The Autographed Launch Bundle pairs a personally autographed copy with a limited edition butterfly bookmark, only available through launch day, September 21.

The family God gave us, after being told we might not have one.

Misty Wright

Misty Wright is a wife and mother of four living in Tennessee. After being told she and her husband Travis could never have children, God made a way for their three biological children. Years later, He called them to adopt an older child who needed a forever home, and that calling brought their son Jaxon home for good. Her faith and her family's story are the heartbeat of everything she writes and shares. She is living proof that God writes better stories than we do.

Why This Story

"It was God leaning across that restaurant table and saying I hear you. I am here. I have been here every single step of this journey. And this child was always meant to be yours."
