This was different to books I normally read. I was expecting a straightforward read about a missing child, maybe details about a lengthy search or continued drama. The book turned out to be different to what I was expecting in many ways. It first of all seemed over before it had begun but this was to turn out to be just the beginning of the story. At only 25% of the way through I couldn’t see how it was going to develop but develop it did and I really did not want to put this book down. I have been away for work and yet I found myself picking up the book for ‘just 5 minutes’. I couldn’t wait to get to the end butnow I have i am disappointed. The story kept me hooked right to the end. I thought It was going to be a rushed ending after a drawn out story but it wasn’t at all. I really recommend this book, the style of writing was easy to read and, while at first i could have disliked some of the characters, I found myself being able to empathize with them all. I’m so glad I picked up this book

This was a beautiful family drama, containing fascinating and complex characters. There an element of a mystery ingrained, and no one was perfect. I will be happy to read more books by this author.

I was unable to read more than about 15 pages of this book when I decided to stop reading it. I didn't care for the writing or the characters and how close minded they were not allowing the music festival, throwing temper tantrums over it screaming at the sherriff-just not my cup of tea at all. The plot sounded interesting when I read the description of the book and about the missing child but I just couldn't stomach the characters and their whining.

Bette Lee Crosby has done it again. Received this book from Net Galley, Portraying both sides of this heartbreaking story without passing judgement on anyone. BABY Emily is kidnapped from her crib at 6months old...her Mother is killed in accident and she is raised by her Aunt and Uncle, considering them her parents. A chance car breakdown finds them with her birth family and unravels the history of her true parentage. Devastating to all but how they work it all out was done with class and love on both sides.
Highly recommend!

A crime of opportunity: a grieving, unhinged young woman breaks into a home looking for food — and comes out with a 6-month-old baby she's convinced is her own stillborn child. While her boyfriend agonizes over how to get the baby girl back to her parents, Vicki settles right in as a mom. Meanwhile Rachel finds it impossible to get over the loss of her baby. There are plenty of wonderful small-town characters, and this story of grief, resilience, and healing is compelling and well written. This book should come with a warning label: Don't start reading this unless you can commit to the whole novel immediately!
