Hannah Prescott was used to the transitory life—her mother had always
been a wild child, and throughout her life, Hannah became used to taking
care of someone who never settled down. But everything changes when
Hannah receives the startling news that her mother stole her away from
her biological father and the Amish community at a young age.
Although
heartbroken and confused, Hannah decides that in order to find out who
she is, she needs to find out who she could have been. This includes not
only a relationship with her father, but also the chance to make a
connection with a young widower who recently moved to the settlement
with his children. While her mother still disdains the Amish, and her
new community is wary of outsiders, only Hannah can know if she’s brave
enough to commit to a fresh start and a real home.

About The Author
Janice Kay Johnson is the author
of over a hundred books for children and adults. Her first four
published romance novels were coauthored with her mother, also a writer
who has since published mysteries and children's books on her own. These
were "sweet" romance novels, the author hastens to add; she isn't sure
they'd have felt comfortable coauthoring passionate love scenes!
Janice
graduated from Whitman College with a B.A. in history and then received
a master's degree in library science from the University of Washington.
She was a branch librarian for a public library system until she began
selling her own writing.
She has written six novels for young
adults and one picture book for the read-aloud crowd. Rosamund was the
outgrowth of all those hours spent reading to her own daughters, and of
her passion for growing old roses. Two more of her favorite books were
historical novels she wrote for Tor/Forge. The research was pure
indulgence for someone who set out intending to be a historian!
Janice
is divorced and has raised her two daughters in a small, rural town
north of Seattle, Washington. She's an active volunteer and board member
for Purrfect Pals, a no-kill cat shelter, and foster kittens often
enliven a household that already includes a few more cats than she wants
to admit to!
Janice loves writing books about both love and
family — about the way generations connect and the power our earliest
experiences have on us throughout life. Her Superromance novels are
frequent finalists for Romance Writers of America RITA® awards. Along
with her books for Harlequin, Janice has written the Cape Trouble series
of romantic suspense novels, and is about to launch a new series,
Desperation Creek, set in rural eastern Oregon.

My Review
Now this is the third book in this series that I have read, but I really
don’t think you would be lost, except for some great reads, to pick
this one up.
I love the way this author’s mind works, what a great
concept, and we are gifted with her words for this page turner of a
book. Yes, page turn I did, I needed answers and the thus I was riveted
and enjoying this read.
Can you remember you life at five? Some yes,
and for Hannah, this is the last time she saw her father and
Grandparents. Then what her mother does to her father, but in a way it
was a gift, and she now has brothers and sisters.
I love how this read all worked out and wrapped up, so sad, some wonderful, but left me wanting more!
I received this book through Net Galley and the Publisher Berkley and was not required to give a positive review.
