This book made me angry several times. Just when I thought I knew where it was going, it completely changed directions. The plot is good - 16-year-old girl has a baby and puts it up for adoption but clings to the adopting family, only to have them uproot themselves to get rid of the birth mother- which started out great but you can imagine how complicated the situation became. And rather quickly.
Sara Rothman gives birth at 16 and looses contact with the baby shortly thereafter (after an attempted kidnapping), but comes to realize she wants to know her daughter after all. She sets out looking for her, finds her, is reunited with the father of the child, whom she has not seen in 16 years- and who, as it turns out, didn't know the baby was ever even born- and realizes her love for him has not faded. Enter confused now 16-year-old girl who never knew she was adopted, and you have quite an interesting situation.
I did enjoy the book; it was a rather quick read, but there are some things I would like to have seen turn out differently.

I'm really glad you read my book (Thank you so much!) and I'm also really interested in what you would have liked to have seen done differently!
