Oh my goodness people, this book was sooo good. It was a happened upon book, a book that was in a box of books my friend let me pilfer through. It was a dauntingly large book, 551 pages. But let me tell you, it just might be one of my favorites. I'm not a mystery reading girl, not into crime and who done it kinda books. But this book involved mystery, plenty of it, left me guessing and guessing. I love a book that I can't predict and this was one I couldn't grasp the answers to until the last few chapters. I literally had to keep reading because I needed to know the answers, needed I tell ya. The book is about a little girl who is found on a dock in Australia, alone. The dockmaster takes her home and calls her his own. When she turns 21 the truth is revealed and her search for her family begins. She dies before all her answers are found but her granddaughter tries to finish the puzzle of the past. The past has more questions than answers but it will finally be revealed and the granddaughters life set right again. This is a must read. It involves love, and pain and loss and hope. It is a book about what we do to find where we come from and how far we will go for love. It is a great book. Read it.
I need to read this.
