Description
Two mothers.
One son.
Can the adopted son of one be the abducted son of the other?
Will their search for the truth destroy them both?
For twenty years, Baton Rouge Pediatrician, Maggie Langston has lived not knowing what happened to her abducted two-year-old son. She believes he still lives. Somewhere. Somehow. When she sees the twenty-two-year-old adopted nephew of her colleague, she’s convinced he’s her long-lost son. Maggie’s allegations create upheaval in the Ellerby household and bring past secrets to light—secrets that make Laney Ellerby question her husband and wonder if her adopted son could really be Maggie’s.
Spurred by their desire to find the truth, the women embark on a journey that takes them to New Orleans, Louisiana; Fort Collins, Colorado; and a small town south of Dallas, Texas.
As they search for answers, they forge a friendship that encourages each to face the wounds of past mistakes, fears, and regrets. Before they find the truth about Maggie’s abducted son, a tragic accident threatens to steal the son they both claim. Can Maggie’s fledgling faith withstand the possibility of losing the son she believes she has finally found? Will Laney’s faith support her as she faces the heartbreaking secret from her past and the possibility of losing the son she’s raised as her own for twenty years?

This was a lovely feel good book. Out of something dreadful something positive emerges. It.lovely to think that that there is a plan in place and just because we don't know or understand we are being looked out for. They say things happen for a reason and this book definitely supports that theory. Thoroughly enjoyed it.

I adored this book.. My heart ached for both Laney and Maggie as separate times. This story has strong women and a good hopeful storyline. I loved it from the beginning. I also really liked finding a clean decent book finally.
Thank you NetGalley and Marian P Merritt for allowing me to read this book.

This is one of the most thought provoking books that I have read this year. It started on a wrenching emotional note. Lives torn apart by the greed of other people.
Maggie and Laney with their families are some of the most memorable characters that I have encountered. I love the way Marian P. Merritt creates flawed, believable characters. The book grips you and you laugh and cry and bite your nails with the characters.... they become your friends and you find yourself rooting for them. Hoping and praying that things will work out. And it did... I was laughing and crying at the end of the book.
Once again a beautiful engaging book about how God works wonders with the worst circumstances. It highlights the power of forgiveness. That it is never too late to turn to Him.
Thank you Marian P. Merritt for this beautiful book and Netgalley for providing me with a free copy in exchange for an honest review.
