Publisher's summary

When Lilia Swallow's husband, Graham, goes into remission after a challenging year of treatment for lymphoma, the home and lifestyle blogger throws a party. Their best friends and colleagues attend to celebrate his recovery, but just as the party is in full swing, a new guest arrives. She presents Lilia with a beautiful baby boy and vanishes.

Toby is Graham's darkest secret - his son, conceived in a moment of despair. Lilia is utterly unprepared for the betrayal the baby represents, and perhaps more so for the love she begins to feel once her shock subsides. Now this unasked-for precious gift becomes a life changer for three women: Lilia, who takes him into her home and heart; Marina, who bore and abandoned him until circumstance and grief change her mind; and Ellen, who sees in him a chance to correct the mistakes she made with her own son, Toby's father. A custody battle begins, and each would-be mother must examine her heart, confront her choices, and weigh her dreams against the fate of one vulnerable little boy. Each woman will redefine family, belonging, and love - and the results will alter the course of not only their lives, but also the lives of everyone they care for.

Great story

Once again, I was pulled right into these characters. I love a happy ending. There were times during the read, I wasn’t sure who I was cheering for. The author makes you feel sympathy for all the characters. It’s was well written and a very sensitive issue that one doesn’t always see from different views. The author gives us a chance to do just that.

Another excellent book by Emilie Richards

As with her other books, this was an excellent read! It was made even better because it was read by one of my favorite narrators, Karen White.

The story is well developed with great character development. A good story overall.
