Somewhere Out There by Amy Hatvany

4.0

Another great novel by Amy Hatvany! Somewhere Out There takes us through the journey of families reuniting. Brooke and Natalie are two sisters that grew up separately and didn’t know the other existed. They were given up by their mother at a young age, and then separated by the foster care system. Through the novel we learn more about the difficulties this caused each girl, now adult, and the joy & struggles of reuniting with family. Amy Hatvany is great at delving into and really exploring the relationships within the novel. Throughout the book many tough questions are brought up using the content as a jumping off point. As a reader we think about what it means to be a parent. How do you truly care for your child? How do you know what’s best for them? I also thought about the effects of nature vs. nurture has on a child’s upbringing. The book deals with a lot of heavy topics, but still manages to offset these, heavy topics, with enough lightness to make the book an enjoyable quick read. As always, a great read from this author, and I will continue to read her books as they come out.
