A well-written story of misguided authority and long-kept secrets

This book was just alright for me, I felt like I had to force myself to read and it took me two months. It was a little hard for me with the flashbacks being embedded through the story, got me confused.

Abandoned infant raised by estate caretaker and elderly woman. Extremely descriptive. Beautifully worded. Written by the national columnist.

This isn't exactly a book I would recommend to others but I didn't mind finishing it.

2.5 stars. This is a completely predictable story about the old, stern rich lady in town, her employees, and a baby that is left on her property. Her caretaker finds the baby and decides to raise the girl, while hiding this from his boss and everyone else. I noticed the author used "that that" and "had had" too many times, and used them unnecessarily. Still, it is a fast, light read, no matter how predictable.
