"I recently had the privilege of reading Lori Prashker-Thomas' awe-inspiring book, "From Mistakes to Miracles: A Jewish Birthmother's Story of Redemption, Hope & Healing." This poignant memoir takes readers on a transformative journey filled with bravery, resilience, and a heartfelt dedication to breaking barriers.
Lori's remarkable story exemplifies her unwavering focus and forthrightness as she navigates the challenges faced by birth mothers. Through her candid narrative, she sheds light on the often-unseen experiences of birth mothers, simultaneously educating society and fostering empathy..."

"Lori Prashker-Thomas' journey moves through an abortion clinic to placing her daughter for adoption, reuniting years later. She is strong, compelling and authentic. She has the courage to break into topics rarely discussed in the Jewish community, using her life's story to heal and to inspire."

"When we asked Lori to speak, we did not know her story. We knew her family story but not her story of being a Birth Mother and everything behind the decision. Very powerful and moving story and amazing the way she intertwines her story with Shifra and Puah's story...She makes you think!"

"So proud of you, your faith, and your courage to get your story out there and be heard. I am sure this will help so many."

“When hearing Lori read clips of her book, I was moved by her words and also her strength to tell her story so openly and honestly. Lori speaks from the heart and draws you in to her life story like you are taking the journey with her ."

"Hearing Lori's story showed me how scary and alone life can be. She was incredibly strong and hearing her story through every step was eye-opening. Lori's story is raw, proud, scary but most of all shows her denomination to never give up."
