Stolen Baby by L.G. Davis
4.0
Nora, her husband Tom, and her 19 year old daughter Isobel from a previous relationship are a family. But something is missing. Nora and Tom are desperate for a baby. After a couple miscarriages, and while saving up for IVF, Nora finds out she's pregnant again. Things look good until she wakes up in agony and is rushed to hospital, once again being told her daughter had no heartbeat. Just when she is at her lowest, Nora opens her front door to find a newborn baby and a note asking for her to look after the baby. Nobody knows she lost her baby, so Nora is sure that she can just pretend that this little girl is the child she gave birth to.
This one took me some time to get into. I've been unwell this week and I get emotional when I'm ill, so having had my share of miscarriages and a full term stillbirth, reading about Nora's losses and her pain had me needing to put the book down for a little while. However, once I properly started to read it, I couldn't put it down. I really ended up enjoying it, and I loved all the twists. I figured out a few of them, but there were others that surprised me.
My only issue with this one was the ending. It made the story feel unfinished, and I also felt like there were a couple of unanswered questions (mainly what was going on with Isobel's boyfriend Joe). But overall, it was a great read, and I'm excited to read more from this author.
