What would you do for the friend who broke your heart? Best friends Kamryn Matika and Adele Brannon thought nothing could come between them - until Adele did the unthinkable and slept with Kamryn's fiance, Nate. Worse still, she got pregnant and had his child. When Kamryn discovered the truth about their betrayal she vowed never to see any of them again. Two years later, Kamryn receives a letter from Adele asking her to visit her in hospital. Adele is dying and begs Kamryn to adopt her daughter, Tegan. With a great job and a hectic social life, the last thing Kamryn needs is a five year old to disrupt things. Especially not one who reminds her of Nate. But with no one else to take care of Tegan and Adele fading fast, does she have any other choice? So begins a difficult journey that leads Kamryn towards forgiveness, love, responsibility and, ultimately, a better understanding of herself.

Slightly deeper than the average chick lit, although not deep enough to go into all the hassles someone - a single someone at that - would have trying to adopt cross racially. A heart warming little tale and an undemanding read. And it's refreshing to have a black heroine in this genre.

RELEASE NOTES:

Not a Hallowe'en Surprise, but I hope it's a nice surprise for the recipient nonetheless!

Finished this today.

What a lovely, touching read. I agree, the actual problems Kamryn would have to face are barely talked about, but still, I liked this story very much.
Thanks for sending, Beebarf. Have someone in mind to send this to.

Surprising good chick lit / baby lit and I truly did not foresee the ending :-)
