This was a heartbreaking book but with happy endings. I don't want to say so much or I will give it away. You get the backstory of the seventeen-year-old girl who had to give her child up for adoption and stay at an abusive "maternity home". You follow along as Allison figures out the details of her mother being abandoned as a baby. There is lots of emotions and drama in this book. I recommend.

An emotional and gripping story about a young unwed mother in the past and the repercussions she faced. It follows her through physical and mental abuse she endured in an unwed mother’s home. It tells of the success she achieved in life. It follows the future generations affected by her decisions and the decisions made for her. I highly recommend this story that grabs you from the beginning and doesn’t let go till the end.
