money for their daughter. Kelly has been looking for her

his brother and his wife were killed in an accident. This
changes his life as he also gets the shocker that they
left custory of their dauther Nettie to him.
His sister promises that she will stay around for at least
a year to help him out with Nettie. Laura is Nettie's
nanny. Laura has been with her since she was a baby. So
she goes along with Jack to help take care of her.
Kelly gets a lead. Could Nettie be her long lost
daughter?
Who really is the parent of the little girl?
David and Beverly Lewis write a story that revolves around
the love that parents have for their children. You
realize
in this story that you don't have to be the biological
parents. As long as you have the love any child can be
yours.
David and Beverly Lewis also incorporate some of the Amish
traditions. I really don't know that much about the Amish.
But I did learn some of traditions. CHILD OF MINE is a
great book, there are
parts when I felt so bad for the two main characters. I
would
really like to see a second book just to find out how all
of
their lives changed.
Flight instructor Jack Livingston has been raising his eight-year-old adopted niece, Natalie, since the accident that took her parents' lives. When he travels, Natalie is tenderly cared for by her Amish nanny, Laura Mast, who loves the little girl as her own. Eight excruciating years ago, Kelly Maines's baby was kidnapped. Determined to find her child, Kelly has tirelessly pursued every lead to its bitter end. And now, with the clock ticking, one last clue from a private investigator ignites a tiny flame of hope: Just a few miles away lives a young girl who matches the profile. Can this be, at long last, Kelly's beloved daughter?
