When Fran brings her little sister's adopted baby back into the family home, she does not receive the thanks she expects. But Fran is relentless. She refuses to back down and the baby ends up staying. At the mother's expense. Evelyn leaves, insisting it is for her baby's own good. Why is she so adamant not to raise her daughter? In this story, the universal expectation for a parent to love their child unconditionally is put under the microscope. Could there be exceptions? Are there times when a mother is justified in leaving her babies?
A dramatic, intriguing, and controversial novel that grips the mind and claws the heart.
