Diane Chamberlain is one of my absolute favourite authors. I was ecstatic when I was approved for this book!

This is a first for Diane Chamberlain..a different type of story but yet the same kind all in one. I don't want to give too much away. The story is fantastic! The blurb on the book was perfect. I must admit that I only skimmed it. I purposely did not want to hear too much (as I'd heard rattles throughout the book community already.) I automatically read anything by Diane Chamberlain. I'm glad I was so delightfully surprised!

The year is 1970 and Caroline (Carly) is pregnant and so very sad. She has recently lost her husband in a horrific way. She is now living with her beloved sister and brother-in-law. But something may not be right with the baby. Her brother-in-law proposes a solution. But could it be a miracle or the most ludicrous, insane thing ever?

This book is packed with a lot of deep, heartfelt emotions throughout the whole story. It's the same type of classic Diane Chamberlain but with a new twist to her story. Her writing is on par as usual. I could not put this down! I so highly recommend it!

I'd like to thank NetGalley and St. Martin's Press for allowing me the opportunity to read this Advanced Reader Copy.

Oh it's a good one...but it is a bit of a different genre than she usually writes. I think you will enjoy it though!
