What makes you a family? This is the big question this book asks from one page to the next. Is it DNA, love, characteristics? 

Can the modern family even be defined? This book dives deep into surrogacy, biology, DNA, and birth. The reader is immersed into a story that explores the very definition of love and the human experience. Every emotional moment making you feel each characters point of view. 

This book is a thought provoking fast paced novel about love, parenthood and what makes you a family. The twists and turns will bring you to a riveting conclusion you couldn’t see coming. 

I went into this book thinking I was in for a light hearted family exploration and was pleasantly surprised by a suspenseful drama that made me redefine what makes you a family. 

I recommend this book to anyone who enjoys a character and plot driven family drama or a book that makes you think.
