Gabbie's rating: 4 out of 5 stars

Mandy knows what it feels like to have no one to care for, or to care about her. So when she gets pregnant, she wants her child to live a better life than she has. As a result, her world collides with Robin MacSweeney - a recently widowed woman who wants to fulfill her and her husband's dream of adoption. Robin's daughter, Jill, however is skeptical about the whole affair. However, when Mandy's past comes back to haunt her, these very different girls join forces. A great read, a touching and well-written piece.
