Molly Boudreau loves her work as a doctor at a local
clinic -- after all, being a doctor was what she gave up
everything to accomplish. One of her favorite patients is
Sarah Morgan, a pregnant young woman who refuses to go to
the hospital and delivers her baby right in the clinic.
Sarah shows up later, saying that there's a problem and she
must have somewhere safe to leave her newborn baby boy,
Nicolas. Reluctantly, Molly agrees to keep the baby. But
her whole world falls apart when Sarah disappears and Molly
learns of her death, finally understanding from Sarah's
cryptic words that she was in fear of the baby's father.
Holding that tiny life close, Molly makes a huge decision
and takes leave from her practice, going straight to her
hometown. There, she confronts her family, who believe the
baby is hers and feel betrayed. Not only that, but soon
after she's followed to town by Dean Coletta, who seems to
have a hidden agenda. Could he be in league with the baby's
father?
Ms. Crandall always delivers a touching, well-written story
and she doesn't fail the reader this time. I was a little
cynical about Molly's willingness to give up everything for
the baby, I admit. But I liked Molly and Dean, who was a
little of a lost soul, trying to find a relationship with a
sister he's already lost. You'll enjoy this book!
Molly Boudreau has worked all of her life with a single
minded focus: becoming a doctor. She's overcome every
obstacle in her path, of which there were many for the
third child of a single father in small town Indiana. But
as she stands on the threshold of her dreams, she realizes
her quest has left her isolated, she yearns for a soul-
stirring connection. And her prayers are answered in a way
she never could have predicted.
Sarah Morgan, a pregnant woman with a past cloaked in
secrecy, shows up at Molly's clinic. Molly suspects a woman
in hiding. Two souls, both needing friendship, soon find it
in one another. But Sarah is murdered only days after her
baby's birth, and after extracting a promise from Molly to
protect the baby from its unnamed father—a man the mother
swore was evil, a man Molly suspects killed her.
Molly risks both her safety and career when she flees
Boston and returns to her Indiana hometown. With everyone
assuming the infant is hers, she has no trouble hiding the
much more explosive truth—until magazine reporter Dean
Coletta arrives and begins asking probing questions. Molly
tries to guard her heart, but Dean soon fires that
emotional connection she's been craving. But Dean has a
secret of his own—one that threatens both Molly and the
future of the child she loves more than life itself.
