Another "who does this child really belong to?" book, (like Between Two Oceans), but current setting and funky characters. Good look at what defines a family. (like Barbara Kingsolver's The Bean Trees) ( )

The first half of this book was excellent, with well-drawn characters and vivid language. By page 5, I was totally engaged. But half-way through the story, the main character, Ruby, made a decision that was so disgusting, I lost all sympathy for her. The resolution was unrealistic and I was a little offended that someone with such questionable morals and ethics would be given such a fairy-tale ending. But it is a testament to how well written this book was that I was compelled to finish it, despite how I felt about the main character. ( )

Couldn't put it down. As a mother, this hit home hard. I couldn't imagine the thought of giving up one child in order to keep another. ( )

Nine years ago, Ruby began a journey...on her way to California, she stopped at a rest stop, and discovered a baby in a trash can. Ruby rescued the baby, whom she called Lark, and raised her as her own.

And then, she came across an ad in a magazine, Lark had a family, who has been looking for her all these years. Apparently, the car that Lark was in had been hijacked, and the baby left at the rest area by the car thieves... It never had occurred until now to Ruby that Lark wasn't abandoned.

With turmoil in her heart, Ruby calls an attorney to try to make things right...

Sometimes, family isn't about blood... ( )

Would give this a 2 1/2 if i could. Likeable characters and potential for a great plot. However, I found the author drolls on and on at some points in the book eluding to an impending crisis/revalation. Almost gave up at times because of it. That paired with the unlikely ending left me a bit unsatisfied. A mother of a 9 yr old comes across a magazine article that can change the lives of everyone close to her. She is constantly wrestling with how to handle the situation and figure out what is the right thing to do. ( )
