Sad but not an uncommon tale. A baby kidnapped and brought up by a woman who conveniently forgets the kidnapping and in her mind he is her son.

In this case however there is unknown to the mother physical and sexual abuse by the stepfather and at the back of his mind Daniel knows that something is not quite right with his memories. He does not shrug it off like anyone else but he pursues it. memories of a young child of four and memories of two women totally unlike his mother. This is the beginning of the mystery he tries to unravel and unravel it does.

Having being forced to live a lie, Daniel now has to begin to process who he is, assimilate into a new family and by a strange coincidence lose the love of his life who just so happens to be a close relation. This was the only feature I found a bit too slick but the general book was an excellent read into the vagaries of human nature and what we would or won't do to satisfy simple human needs. Even to the detriment of everyone else, humans can be appallingly selfish.

Goodreads review up on 10/1/2017 along with Amazon. Review on my blog mid May 2017.

Nice read and easy to follow story line. Look forward to reading more from this author

I found that I couldn't really delve into this book - It could just be an off time, for me, but I decided to give up pretty early on.

Thank you netgalley and the publishers for allowing me to read this in exchange for an honest review.

This tells the story of Laura who has lost everything and kidnaps a child she raises as her own until Daniel starts searching for answers.

I found this a slow burner which before long grabs you and time passes on a flash and you are finished it. I felt for all the characters and really enjoyed this book.

This was a 2 sitting book (and it would have been a one sitting if NYE hadn't gotten in the way) - the pace was so fast, it drew me in and I was rapidly page turning. The story developed quite quickly and I had a suspicion about where it was going from quite early on. I really enjoyed the turn that happened to the 'kidnapper' and it felt like the right move. The only downside for me was the swift resolution to the happy family idea, though I can understand why it was there - and it would have been too bleak to leave unresolved.
Overall a really good read.
