I don't think I've read any of the previous books in this series, and maybe that's why I found it so hard to "get into" this book. I felt a bit lost, not knowing what some of the characters were talking about regarding Tiny Blessings and its former director.

A friend sent me this book in a box of books.

We're kind of dropped in to the middle of the action--apparently two people have been identified as the possible child that was taken from its mother at birth. Both have given DNA samples. What I don't understand is that if one of them really didn't want a relationship with his/her birth mother, why bother to agree to give a DNA sample to see if it matched? Perhaps that question was addressed in the previous book(s) of the series, but it is not here.

Also, even though one of the main characters is the director of Tiny Blessings adoption agency, we see no work being done on any adoptions. No applications coming through, no interviews, no background checking, no children being born, no one contacting them for placement of an infant, no one who's pregnant calling looking for options, etc.

I guessed what was wrong with Kelly long before the characters figured it out. ( )
