Publisher's summary

When Ivy Rose returns to her hometown to oversee an estate sale, she soon discovers that her grandmother left behind more than trinkets and photo frames - she provided a path to the truth behind Ivy's adoption. Shocked, Ivy seeks clues to her past, but a key piece to the mystery is missing.

Twenty-four years earlier, Harvey James finds an abandoned newborn who gives him a sense of human connection for the first time in his life. His desire to care for the baby runs up against the stark fact that he is homeless. When he becomes entwined with two people seeking to help him find his way, Harvey knows he must keep the baby a secret or risk losing the only person he's ever loved.

In this dual-time story from debut novelist Amanda Cox, the truth - both the search for it and the desire to keep it from others - takes center stage as Ivy and Harvey grapple with love, loss, and letting go.

Loved it!!

I couldn't put it down! Great book! There was a touch of romance, but it wasn't overpowering, which I liked. I also liked that strangers become family. Not because of marriage, but because of love and friendship.

Great book!

This book was our first introduction to Amanda Cox. She is a fantastic writer. Her story is poignant, timely, and meaningful. It explores the depth of human experience, love, and divine love. Highly recommend it to all who have the opportunity to read it.

Fantastic realistic book

The book was one I didn’t want to put down. The characters were like next door neighbors with lives I related too. I am using this book for my book club this month.

Love the drama, secrets and strong, faith messages

This is my third book by Amanda Cox. And it didn’t disappoint! I loved the secrets that would need to be discovered and how they unfolded throughout the story. Great characters. Great split time novel showing the characters lives at two different eras. I look forward to more stories by this author! At first, I didn’t think I was going to like the narrator voice on the audio version, but I think in the end I really did like her and felt that she really added to the story.

Redemption story

Well done by author and choice of narrator to communicate the story.
For readers who have lived a little and maybe to the one who needs a story of hope and long suffering love.

Enjoyable time slip fiction

Story was great. Narrator not my favorite but not distracting by any means. Will read Cox’s second book next. Worth a read!
