This is the first book by Cathy Glass that I have read but it won’t be the last.
This book was excellently written. It was informative but so heartbreaking
Cathy is such a wonderful person and is the epitome of kindness.

I'm a huge fan of Cathy's books and this didn't disappoint.
It was difficult to read about Haylea and imagine the horror she must have been through and I was so glad she found some closure

Tragic. Ugh. Those pitiful kids. This would have been a five star read for me. The reason I rated it four instead is because of Cathy. I like Cathy, and all her books, but I didn't like how she didn't understand the reason (or refused to understand) the first couple's problem. They were not unreasonable. Their concern about Darcy-May is totally valid. On top of that, they were not told of the secret and only knew about it on the day of the meeting.
Every kid deserves a happy home and loving parents, but what the couple did was save themselves and Darcy-May from the heartache that may come later. Sure, kids will not be like they're biological parents but, it there is a possibility and that will be a chance to take. Also Darcy-May deserved someone who will take the risk, which is again not the first couple's fault. Yes, I'm repeating myself, but I can't help it. This part disappointed me the most about the book.
