Women's Fiction
What happens when two sisters who were torn apart when their
young mother abandoned them—and grew up in tragically
different circumstances—reunite thirty-five years later to
find her? For readers who love Jodi Picoult, acclaimed
author Amy Hatvany fearlessly explores complex family issues
in her gripping, provocative new novel.
Natalie Clark
knew never to ask her sensitive adoptive mother questions
about her past. She doesn’t even know her birth mother’s
name—only that the young woman signed parental rights over
to the state when Natalie was a baby. Now Natalie’s own
daughter must complete a family tree project for school, and
Natalie is determined to unearth the truth about her
roots.
Brooke Walker doesn’t have a family. At
least, that’s what she tells herself after being separated
from her mother and her little sister at age four. Having
grown up in a state facility and countless foster homes,
Brooke survives the only way she knows how, by relying on
herself. So when she discovers she’s pregnant, Brooke faces
a heart-wrenching decision: give up her baby or raise the
child completely on her own. Scared and confused, she feels
lost until a surprise encounter gives her hope for the
future.
How do our early experiences—the subtle and
the traumatic—define us as adults? How do we build
relationships when we’ve been deprived of real connection?
Critically acclaimed author Amy Hatvany considers
controversial and complicated questions about childhood
through the lens of her finely crafted characters in this
astute novel about mending wounds by diving into the truth
of what first tore us apart.
